Making A Claim On Behalf Of A Child
Children (under 18 years of age) are not legally permitted to make a personal injury claim themselves. However, a parent or guardian can bring the claim forward as a “next friend”. This ensures that your child’s interests are fully protected throughout the legal process.
The procedure involves:
Initial consultation
To understand the circumstances and determine whether the claim has merit
Collection of evidence
Including medical reports, accident reports, witness statements and photographic evidence if available
Filing the claim
Through the Injuries Resolution Board or, in some cases, the court system
Settlement or court resolution
Followed by the approval of any compensation by the court (to ensure it’s in the child’s best interests)
The compensation awarded is typically held in court until the child turns 18, unless an earlier release is approved for necessary expenses such as medical treatment or educational support.

Understanding The Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If you’ve been injured in a road traffic accident in Dublin, caused by another party, you could be entitled to various forms of compensation. This includes reimbursement for medical expenses, such as hospital stays, surgeries, medication, physiotherapy and ongoing treatments. You may also claim for loss of earnings if your injuries prevent you from working or reduce your earning capacity.
Additionally, compensation may cover pain and suffering, addressing the physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by the accident. Property damage, including vehicle repairs or replacement of personal items is also considered. If your injuries require you to rely on others for daily care and assistance, you may be eligible to claim for those care expenses as well.
