School Accidents

Every year in Britain about one million children are injured in accidents, including accidents that occur whilst the child is at school or on there way to or from school on a school bus.

During school time your child is under the protection of the school. The child becomes their responsibility and the teacher takes on a parent role to the child. Children are under a duty of care from their teacher whilst they are within the school grounds it is the job of their teacher to protect them and ensure that their welfare is taken care of at all times.

If a child suffers an accident at school they could be left with severe personal injury that could affect and alter their lives both physically and mentally. Even if the child was doing something that they shouldn’t have been doing at the time of the accident the child will not be held fully responsible for the accident as some blame will lie with the teacher that should have been supervising the child at the time of the accident.

There are many ways in which your child could be injured whilst they are at school, the most common form of injury being caused by a playground accident or an accident whilst undertaking a sporting activity. Everything within the schools power should be done to protect a child whilst they are at school, failure to do so can leave a child suffering and leave the school liable for the injuries that were caused.

If your child has recently suffered personal injury due to an accident caused by the negligence of the people employed to protect and teach them then you could put in a claim for compensation on the behalf of your child. If you do decide to pursue a compensation claim after your child has suffered due to an injury that should have been prevented then there are a few things that you should do to ensure that your claim has the best chance of being a success such as making a note of the time and date that the accident took place, details of where the accident occurred as well as the names and addresses of any witnesses and the name of the school and person in-charge of the welfare of your child at the time of the accident.
