How to claim compensation for sports injuries
If you have suffered a sport or leisure injury you may be eligible to claim personal injury compensation.
Our sports injury solicitors have considerable experience and knowledge of the rules, regulations and laws that apply. We have successfully recovered personal injury compensation for victims of accidents at fairgrounds, sports grounds, leisure centres as well in amateur and professional events.
What type of sport injuries can you claim for?
The organiser and sometimes the other participants have a responsibility for keeping the event or the venue safe for the sport or leisure activity you are participating in. If they don’t follow the rules, in a reckless way, you may be able to bring a compensation claim either against the owner of the premises, the organiser of an event or one of the other participants.
Our specialist solicitors will be able to help you make a claim if you have injured as a result of:
- A deliberate assault by another player or late/reckless tackle
- Badly maintained equipment or dangerous ground conditions
- A trainer given you bad advice or not providing the correct safety equipment
- A dangerous venue or a poorly maintained stadium
If you have received an injury that was not your fault you will be able to claim compensation that will aid in your rehabilitation. We offer free advice and guidance without obligation. If you choose to instruct our leisure injury solicitors we will represent you on a no win, no fee basis.
