| Claims by Children |
Children cannot bring proceedings in their own name. In civil law a child is anyone who is under the age of 18.
If a child has been injured and wishes to make a claim for compensation they must either wait until they reach the age of 18 or bring a claim through ‘a litigation friend.’ The litigation friend is usually the child’s parent or guardian and will bring the claim on behalf of the child.
If we reach a settlement on behalf of a child we will always ask the court to approve the settlement. This will ensure that the child receives fair damages for their injuries. The damages will then be paid into court and invested on behalf of the child. When the child reaches the age of 18 the funds will be released to him or her. If you can shown that the funds are needed to care for the child during his or her minority and application can be made to the court to ask that the funds be made available to you for the benefit of the child.
