If your child has suffered from a playground accident, and you feel that there is a reasonable cause to pursue a playground accident compensation claim, your first priority should still be to ensure the health and safety of your child.

Depending on the scale of the injury, you should call an ambulance, report to the casualty department of the nearest hospital or make an emergency appointment for your child to see your general practitioner. Your attendance at hospital or your doctor's surgery will be recorded in the child's medical records and can be used at a later date to support any claim for playground accident compensation.

On average, over 7,000 children between 5 and 14 years of age suffer from an unintentional injury each year, and if a playground accident is due to poorly maintained equipment, a defect in the surface of the playground or a lack of supervision, there could be just cause to make a playground accident compensation claim.

Although the law in Ireland allows extra time for minors to file a playground accident claim through their parents, it is in your best interests to contact a specialist injury compensation claims solicitor once the primary concerns of your child’s health are resolved. By bringing the playground accident to the attention of a solicitor at the earliest possible opportunity, it enables witnesses' statements to be gathered while their memories are still fresh and facilitates claiming for the full amount of playground accident compensation available, rather than settling for an amount that does not truly compensate your child for the suffering they experience.
