Nursery Accident Claims

Accidents in nurseries are not an unusual occurrence – the playful nature of infants can result in trips and bumps, which can result in minor cuts and bruises. On occasion however, more serious accidents are sustained, some of which can be attributable to the fault or negligence of the nursery. In these cases, parents may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Nurseries owe a duty of care to children, and it is therefore the nursery that is liable for any accidents which occur as a result of failure to provide necessary safeguards.

The most common types of infant accidents for which you may be able to gain compensation are:

• Trips, slips or falls on nursery grounds due to poorly maintained or slippery surfaces
• Defective or poorly maintained equipment such as chairs, tables and toys
• Play accidents attributable to inadequate supervision from staff
• Food poisoning due to poor hygiene in dining or food preparation areas

Bringing a compensation claim may seem like a daunting experience, but if your child has been injured in a nursery accident, this can have serious financial implications for your family.
