Fairground Accident Compensation Claims

My child has been injured in a Fairground Accident – What can I do?

If your child has been injured in a fairground accident, you can make a claim on their behalf. Children aren’t allowed to bring claims to court until they turn 18, but parents can act as their children’s litigation friends and take on responsibility for the claim themselves. As your child’s litigation friend, you will be responsible for making any decisions that need to be made in relation to your child’s case. The sooner a case is brought to the court’s attention, the better the outcome usually is. If you bring the case to court on your child’s behalf, the details of the child’s accident will be clear in your mind and it will be easier to collect vital witness statements and gather valuable evidence.

Fatal Fairground Accidents

Tragically, some fairground accidents are fatal. If someone you love has died in a fairground accident, you may be able to claim on their behalf. If you are closely related to someone who has died in a fairground accident, or if you were financially dependent of the deceased then you may be eligible to claim compensation. The courts will likely give you a bereavement award, as well as additional compensation to help cover funeral expenses and lost earnings (actual and future).

I was injured whilst working at a Fairground – Can I claim compensation?

If you have been injured during your time at work at a fairground, you will be able to make a claim against your employer if your injury was due to your employer’s negligence. All employers have a duty of care to protect their employees from harm by taking reasonable steps to prevent fairground accidents from happening; such steps typically include providing staff with PPE (personal protective equipment), ensuring staff are properly trained to handle equipment and carrying out regular risk assessments. If you feel your employer was responsible for the fairground accident, contact our team today.

How much compensation can I claim?

The amount of compensation you will be awarded will depend on your case. Compensation amounts for fairground accidents vary considerably and can reach into the hundreds of thousands for serious injuries. Our solicitors will be able to advise how much compensation you are likely to receive. Get in touch with us today.
