If My Child Is Involved in an Accident, Can They Claim?
As a parent, seeing your child injured due to someone else's negligence is devastating. The good news is that children in Scotland are fully entitled to make a personal injury claim.
Because a child cannot legally raise a claim themselves, a parent or guardian acts on their behalf throughout the process. Any compensation awarded is protected and held in trust until the child reaches adulthood.
It is also worth knowing that in Scotland, if a claim is not made during childhood, your child has until their 21st birthday to raise one themselves.
If your child has been injured in an accident that was not their fault, get in touch with our team today for a free, no obligation consultation.
