For a free consultation about our experience with the successful resolution of serious accident cases involving children and schools, contact us. Examples of the kinds of cases we handle include:
- Serious injuries at playgrounds, gymnasiums, skating rinks or swimming pools
- Accidents at community centres during school-sponsored events
- Motor vehicle accidents involving buses or vans carrying students to or from outings or school events
- Swimming, diving, boating or drowning accidents related to school events
Claims for compensation involving injured children present specific challenges. First, the developmental impact of various injuries to children can be difficult, and a reasonably certain prognosis for recovery might be slow to come. Next, many children suffer emotional, cognitive or behavioural consequences in the aftermath of a traumatic accident, which might present more serious problems for the child than the physical injury. Finally, in the most serious injury cases, projecting the impact of an injury on a young person's educational and career prospects can be especially difficult.
