Claims for Sports Injuries
Claims for injuries to players
Most people fundamentally play a sport because they enjoy it - although that doesn't always apply to school sports! At the same time people associate physical exercise with a healthy heart and general fitness.
However, sports can also be dangerous. Due to its physical nature, sports can result in injuries and whilst there is an inherent appreciation by all sports people that some risk is involved, sometimes injuries happen which are the result of foul play or problems with the playing facilities. These are clearly not the fault of the person playing and as such can sometimes result in a successful personal injury claim.
To give you an indication of the sorts of injuries we are thinking of consider an injury caused by bad training techniques, blatantly dangerous play by a member of the opposition, or an injury resulting from poor or inadequately maintained equipment, or a piece of glass lying on the pitch. All these types of situation can give rise to a successful sports injury claim .
Claims for injuries to spectators
When we talk about sports injuries, most people automatically assume we're just talking about those playing the sport - but spectators can get hurt too!
If you're a spectator at a sports event you can rightly expect the sports organiser to have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that you are safe. But despite the organisers responsibility to take reasonable care accidents still happen.
We've heard of spectators seating collapsing, falling scaffolding, flood lights shattering and showering spectators with glass. Spectator sports injuries can also result from inadequate crowd control at sporting events, leading for example, to falling and crushing injuries. Indeed, lack of adequate safety measures frequently causes spectator sports injuries.
Had a sports injury? W hat do you do next?
I f you've been injured the first move is to get medical attention. It's important for your injury to be assessed so that first of al you can get the very best treatment. As part of that process the medical people will have to establish the extent of your injuries and this will provide you with evidence of when the injury occurred and their severity. This will provide very useful evidence should you decide to claim compensation at a later date.
Then, when you have a minute to yourself, consider whether you'd be interested in making a claim for compensation. If you'd like to take that possibility further, complete our online enquiry form and a Claims Adviser will phone you back from Claims Justice.
You can then talk through exactly what happened and describe the extent of your injuries. Your Claims Adviser will then give you an idea of the chances of making a successful claim and the general level of compensation that could apply. Then if you want to proceed, your Adviser will transfer your case to one of their panel of solicitors who specialises in sports injuries.
Claims Justice have years of experience managing successful claims following sports injuries so you'll be in good hands.
