    Playground Injury Claims

    If you have suffered an injury whilst at a playground, you may be eligible to claim compensation. If the accident was not your fault you should talk to us about playground injury claims.

    Types of Playground Injury Claims

    Accidents at playgrounds can occur for a number of different reasons such as

    Safety Laws

    There are laws that cover the expected safety of playgrounds. Acts of Parliament that cover children’s playgrounds include:

    • Occupiers’ Liability Acts 1957, 1984
    • Occupiers’ Liability (Scotland) Act 1960
    • Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
    • The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

    Playground equipment is covered under the British Standard EN 1176 which states the standards playground equipment should meet. The laws and standards are in place to keep users of playground equipment safe. If there has been negligence, and you have suffered an injury you could claim compensation.

    As most playgrounds are run by the local authority, your claim will probably be made against the local council.

    • Get the details of any witnesses to the accident.

    HOW MUCH COMPENSATION CAN I GET FOR MY PLAYGROUND INJURY?

    Every accident and injury is unique and therefore compensation is decided on a case-by-case basis. The extent of your injuries is the most important factor in determining how much compensation you will be owed.

    However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work.

    Our compensation calculator will give you an indication of how much you might be entitled to based upon your injuries.
