What Is a Park or Playground Accident Claim?
A park or playground accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you or your child have been injured due to unsafe equipment, poor maintenance, or someone else’s negligence in a public or private play area. Parks and playgrounds should be safe spaces, but accidents still happen when equipment is defective, surfaces are unsafe, or supervision is inadequate.
If you or your child have suffered an injury in the last three years that wasn’t your fault, LITKRAFT can help you start your claim and secure the support you need to recover.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to claim compensation if:
• Your child was injured on defective or poorly maintained playground equipment
• You suffered injury in a park or public space due to unsafe surfaces, broken pathways, or hazards left unattended
• An accident occurred because of inadequate supervision or failure to follow safety standards
• Responsibility lies with a local council, school, nursery, private landowner, or playground equipment supplier

• Inadequate supervision in schools or nurseries

What You Can Claim For
• Physical injuries and emotional distress
• Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
• Loss of income if a parent had to take time off work to care for an injured child
• Ongoing care needs, mobility aids, or adapted housing if required
• Travel costs and other out-of-pocket expenses
How Much Compensation Could You Get?
Every playground accident claim is unique. The amount of compensation depends on:
• The medical evidence of the injury and how long recovery takes
• Loss of earnings or financial impact on the family
• The effect on daily life, independence and wellbeing
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and any ongoing care needs
• Other expenses linked to the accident
Your solicitor will calculate the value of your claim using medical reports, financial records, and the official Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to make sure compensation reflects the true impact of the accident.

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.
