How many days per day is the child nutrition compensation standard in 2025?

There is no fixed calculation formula for the severity of the child's injury, the nutritional supplement order issued by the medical institution, and the local average living cost.

Many parents will rush to find the "official pricing" when encountering this kind of thing for the first time. In fact, there is no need to do so. The nutrition fee itself is an item that is determined on an as-needed basis. Just like the nutritional needs of a child who broke his knee and rubbed some skin, and the need for long-term calcium supplementation to promote growth after an injured epiphysis are definitely different, it is unreasonable to impose a unified standard. We have been practicing personal injury compensation for almost eight years, and the amounts of the cases we have encountered are quite different. Last year, an 8-year-old child in Hangzhou was hit by a car and suffered a tibial fracture. The hospital clearly prescribed a diagnosis of "needing to strengthen a high-protein and high-calcium diet for 3 months." In the end, the court sentenced 60 yuan a day, which adds up to a total of 5,400 yuan in nutritional expenses. If placed in a third- or fourth-tier primary school, In the city, there is a high probability that the child will be sentenced to 40 yuan a day for the same injury, and the difference will not be too big. However, if the child is allergic and cannot eat ordinary eggs and milk, he must use special medical nutritional supplements. As long as the relevant certificates from the hospital and formal purchase invoices can be produced, the amount of support can be higher. There was a similar case in Shanghai before, and it was finally approved to 120 yuan a day.

There are many different opinions on this standard in the industry. On one side, many parents feel that children should be compensated according to the highest standard if their injuries affect their growth and development. Even if there is no medical advice, they advocate hundreds of yuan a day for nutrition. This kind of appeal will most likely not be supported by the court; Especially when it comes to injuries that affect growth and development, judges will basically support more reasonable and high standards. After all, when a child is growing up, nutrition will not keep up and the sequelae will last a lifetime. Now many legal professionals are calling for setting a minimum standard for nutrition fees for minors, at least no less than 30% of the average daily consumption expenditure of local residents, to avoid malicious price reduction by the compensation party. However, there is no new rule that has been officially implemented.

If you really need to claim nutrition fees, you don’t need to worry about the so-called "2025 new standards." First, ask the attending doctor to write down the nutritional advice clearly. It is best to clarify the type of nutrition that needs to be supplemented and the recommended supplementation time. If you really need to purchase special nutrients, keep all invoices and payment vouchers. These are the strongest basis when discussing compensation. Not long ago, a parent took his 7-year-old child to play in the playground and suffered a slight concussion. The doctor only wrote the words "enhancing nutrition" on the diagnosis certificate. The playground was only willing to pay 20 yuan a day at first. Later, we asked the parents to sort out the receipts for buying deep-sea fish, DHA, and children's special nutritional powder for the child for half a month. Finally, we negotiated to 50 yuan a day, which was acceptable to both parties and did not lead to a lawsuit. Of course, if the child's injury is particularly mild and the doctor doesn't mention the need for nutritional supplements, then even if you feed the child a lot of delicious food at home, there is a high probability that you will not be able to claim nutrition fees. You still need to be mentally prepared for this in advance.
