For children under the age of 18, all successful claims of financial compensation are paid into the court and held on trust. It will be invested on their behalf until they reach the age of 18. As a parent or legal guardian, you can apply directly to the court to release funds to cover payment for things such as medical treatment, or education support. This will be authorized once the court is satisfied that it is necessary. This is usually done with the help of a Deputy who will budget and plan for your child’s spend throughout your child’s life until your child reaches 18, if your child has capacity then. A Deputy can be a family member if the court is satisfied that the family member is the right person to control the finances.
Any amount awarded to your child is approved at what is called an ‘infant approval hearing’. This is a necessary process before any money can be paid out. In some instances, your child may need to attend this hearing, or you may be able to attend on their behalf. Once they reach the age of 18, the money invested is generally paid in full, together with any accrued interest due.
Yes, if your baby sadly died due to a birth injury and someone else was to blame, you may be able to make a claim on behalf of their estate.
If your current legal team are not providing the service and support you need during your birth injury compensation claim, you are completely entitled to change solicitors at no cost. Call us for a second no obligation opinion.
