How much compensation for a fall? The birth of a new baby is a very special time for the whole family. If things go wrong during pregnancy or birth, the effects can be devastating. If a mother or baby is harmed due to medical negligence or clinical negligence, a claim for personal injury compensation may be possible. Many birth injuries that occur in mothers or children are a direct result of unnecessary hospital practices and birth malpractice. Negligent doctors performing unnecessary caesarean sections (C-sections) increase the chance of reproductive damage in the mother and birth defects in the newborn. What’s more, epidurals can weaken contractions and carry the risk of paralysis.
Compensation claims for dog bites involve making a claim against the owner of the dog. Often, the owner is in a position to prevent their dog from biting members of the public. In some cases, particularly if the dog in question is particularly dangerous, the owner of the dog may have third party liability insurance in place to protect them against a compensation claim. If they do not have insurance, you may be able to make a claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) if the dog is considered a ‘Dangerous Dog’ or the dog was deliberately set upon you.

Accidents that involve children are extremely distressing for parents and/or carers (and, of course, the child in question). More often than not the injuries suffered by the child are of a serious nature. However, some personal injury claims involve more minor injuries like fractures or scarring. A child can, of course, be injured almost anywhere and at any time. However, there are certain environments in which accidents are more likely to occur. Below are some of the most common scenarios for accidents involving children: Accidents in schools e.g. a teacher has been negligent in providing first aid treatment to a child who has been injured on school premises, Accidents in nurseries e.g. a toddler has been hurt in an accident because there were no proper health and safety precautions put in place to prevent risks.
