Growth plate fractures are fractures affecting the developing tissue at the end of children’s bones. Growth plates are the last area of a developing bone to harden, which leaves the area particularly vulnerable to fracture. If your child has suffered a growth plate fracture after an accident that was not their fault, it is important to be aware of your legal options.
Has your child suffered a growth plate fracture?
A growth plate fracture may cause not only a significant amount of physical pain to the child suffering the injury, but also mental and emotional stress for the parents or guardians of the child. Compensation could help make the whole process a lot less stressful by covering costs that are incurred during recovery from a growth plate fracture.
Slips or falls in public places or road accidents are good examples of situations which could result in a growth plate fracture. If the accident that caused a growth plate fracture occurred through the negligence of another person, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
