What is a school injury claim?
If your child has been injured at school, or you have been injured on the school premises, then you could be entitled to make a claim for financial compensation through a school injury claim. A school injury claim is made with specialist solicitors, such as those at MG Legal, in order to get injured people the justice and compensation that they deserve.
All schools have a legal duty of care to protect both pupils and visitors while on the school premises, and to take all possible action to protect them from injury or illness. Should the school break this duty of care and you or your child have been injured in any way, then you should get in touch with our solicitors today about making a no win no fee school injury claim. Our team can help your child get the medical treatment they need, as well as the maximum financial compensation for you and your family in your school injury claim.
Can I sue a teacher?
While this duty of care applies to the school as a whole, it is more than likely that your child’s individual class teacher will be the one designated to supervise them and prevent them from injury for the large majority of the time that they spend at school. This makes it more than likely that if you are looking to make a claim for personal injury in a school accident claim, that it will be due to the negligence of a specific teacher or individual.
Still, this is not always the case. It could be that your child has been injured due to the negligence of another individual, such as someone visiting the school, or on a school trip.
It is for this reason that school accident claims can be particularly difficult, and it can be hard to establish when exactly a school is responsible for an accident causing injury to a child. Because of this, it is always best to seek expert legal advice from a specialist injury in school compensation claims solicitors. MG Legal’s personal injury solicitors specialising in injured at school compensation claims, can be contacted here for a no-obligation chat about your situation and potential claim.

What type of accidents at school can I claim for?
When we think of school accident claims, we may automatically think of a child taking a tumble on the playground, or falling down some stairs, but in reality there are a huge number of school accident claims that can be made for a wide variety of different reasons.
These include:
School accident claims for incorrect medication, or the incorrect dosage of medication, given by a teacher
Food unsafely cooked by the school cafeteria, causing foreign objects in food causing injury, or food poisoning, and leading to a subsequent school accident claim
Faulty or damaged facilities, such as sharp edges from broken furniture, wet floors from unmarked spillages, or unsafe stairs and stairwells
School accident claims for a lack of security policies and supervision, leading to your child being exposed to outside dangers and becoming injured
School accident claims caused by ineffective rescue plans in the case of an emergency
Accidents on school trips leading to school accident claims
Can you sue a school for injury UK?
All schools in the UK owe their pupils and students a duty of care when they are in their supervision. This dates back to the Occupiers’ Liability Act of 1957, which states that a premises, such as a school establishment, has a duty of care to keep any visitors safe. If this duty of care is breached, and you our your child has been injured at school due to an accident at school, then you should proceed with a school accident personal injury claim for financial compensation as soon as possible.
Can I sue if my child is injured on the school playground?
If your child was injured on the school playground, and you believe that it was due to negligence on behalf of a teacher or another member of school staff, due to a lack of supervision, then you could be eligible to make a compensation claim on behalf of your injured child.

How much is my accident at school claim for my child injured at school worth?
No two accident claims are the same, and no two injuries are the same. Your claim for financial compensation in an accident at school claim will be made up of a number of damages including the injury itself, and other potential losses, such as any loss of earnings that you have suffered due to taking time off work to look after your injured child. See a full overview of the losses you can claim for, here.

How long do I have to sue a school through a school accident claim?
The length of time that you have to make a personal injury claim for a school accident claim is subject to the Limitation Act of 1980. Subject to the Limitation Act, anyone injured usually has a period of three years from the date at which the injury was sustained to make claim for injured at school compensation.
However, if your child is under the age of 18, then the rules are slightly different. In this instance, the child will have 3 years from the date that they turn 18 to make the claim for compensation due to being injured in school.
