As experts in medical negligence, we secure approval from court before settling claims which involve children. This means that a Judge approves the compensation amount the child receives, without the need of the defending party admitting liability.
Once approved, compensation is placed in a Special Investment Account which the child can access when they become 18. The court, however, may release some of the funds at the time of approval prior to the child turning 18 if there are reasons to do so, such as educational or medical needs.
