What Are Children’s Serious Injury Claims?
A children’s serious injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if your child has suffered a severe injury due to an accident, negligence, or medical error. Childhood injuries can be life-changing, requiring long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and educational support. They may also affect your child’s independence, development, and future prospects.
Injuries to children can occur in road traffic accidents, accidents at school, playground accidents, medical negligence, or accidents in public places. If your child has been injured in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you pursue a claim, secure compensation, and ensure the right care and support are in place.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to make a claim for a child’s serious injury if you are:
• A parent or legal guardian acting on behalf of an injured child
• A family member caring for a child who has been injured due to negligence
• The child themselves, once they turn 18, if no claim has been made on their behalf

How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
Every child’s serious injury claim is unique. The amount of compensation depends on:

• Impact on education, independence, and future employment
• Financial losses for the family, including care and support costs
• Psychological and emotional harm caused to the child and family
Solicitors rely on medical evidence, care reports, educational assessments, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate fair compensation.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
