Compensation for children

Many parents will be unaware that they can make a personal injury compensation claim on behalf of their child aged under 18 years.

If your child is injured due to someone else's negligence, you can make a claim on their behalf by acting as a 'litigation friend' (an independent person not involved in the incident).

However, if you are involved in the incident - for example a car crash in which you are driving and your child is injured - while you cannot claim on their behalf, another litigation friend could do so.
