Car accident claims for children

We receive a lot of car accident claims from parents on behalf of their children who have suffered personal injuries at the hands of a reckless driver.

Children account for a large proportion of pedestrians who are seriously injured or killed in car accidents every year and there has even been support from car manufacturers such as Kia to see these numbers reduced.

Since 2000 the government have been encouraging parents to leave their cars at home to take part in the Walking Bus Scheme which involves up to 20 children accompanied by 10 parents walking crocodile style to and from school. Parents that receive special training in road safety awareness even act as driver and conductor to keep the children in line and out of harms way.

In May 2006 Kia jumped on board to support Walk to School Week by asking children who they would most like to walk them to school. The favourite pedestrian pals included schoolboy wizard, Harry Potter who received 22% of the vote and cartoon brat, Bart Simpson with 21%.

The Walking Bus Scheme is essentially designed to decrease congestion surrounding schools during dropping off and picking up times and, in turn, diminish the number of tragic road accidents involving children close to the school gates.
