What Counts as a School Accident Claim?

Schools have a legal duty of care to keep children safe while on school premises or during school activities. When they fail in this duty and your child is injured as a result, you have the right to claim compensation on their behalf. From playground accidents to injuries in PE classes, these incidents can cause genuine harm and distress.
