Playground accidents
Playground accident claims
Playground accidents in Scotland are quite common. Many are simply the result of play between the children, but others are caused through faulty play equipment an inadequate protective floor surfaces.
It is the legal responsibility of the playground owners, either local council or school, to ensure that everyone who uses the playground is safe. As children are less careful than adults, the law often imposes a greater duty of care on occupiers to ensure their safety.
If your child has suffered an accident in a playground or other play area due to faulty or inappropriate equipment, or by falling and injuring themselves on the floor surface, you could make a compensation claim.
Making a claim
How do I make a playground accident claim?
If your child has been injured in a playground accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Experiencing your child being in pain can be traumatic for you as a parent, and depending on their injuries, their lives may be greatly inconvenienced or changed as a result of the accident.
It is the legal responsibility of the playground owners to take all steps necessary in providing a safe environment for children to play. If the playground owners were negligent, you could claim for compensation.
