What if I am claiming for a child?

If a child has been injured, the time limit for making a claim normally does not start until their 18th birthday – but you can start a claim any time before then. Someone under 18 cannot take legal action in their own right, but must have a ‘litigation friend’. This could be:

• a close relative;
• an adult friend;
• a social worker; or
• someone else appointed by the court.
