Overview

Supporting you through a child injury

Get in touch now to discuss your claim

We trust doctors and nurses to take good care of our children, but serious mistakes can happen. When they do, this can be life-changing for children and their families. Making a medical negligence claim can help you understand what went wrong and provide financial support to help you cope with changes to your child’s needs.

Helping you and others

Our solicitors have wide experience in child injury claims, and will support you and your family throughout. We campaign to make sure the cases we handle can lead to improved healthcare practice and help prevent other families going through the same experiences.

Financial security into the future

We’ll tell you if your child has a case for compensation and help you get the best possible settlement for them to help provide for ongoing treatment and care, specialist equipment and future needs.

Our experience in business finance

How a compensation claim can help

We understand how an injury to a child can affect their future, and the future of the family as a whole. We will tell you if your child has a case for compensation and we’ll help you get the best possible settlement for them. Compensation gives your child financial security for the future and can cover a wide range of costs including:

  • ongoing care, such as home visits by a nurse or professional carer
  • specialist equipment your child might need
  • housing needs, including adaptations
  • medical treatment and therapies.

Nothing can make up for your child’s suffering, but compensation can help make life easier and provide future security.
