Sport Accident Compensation Claims
Back to Other Compensation Claims
If you play sport there is always the chance a personal injury may occur by accident. Hamstring injuries, broken bones, Achilles tendon, knee, groin, elbow and muscular injuries are particularly common with sporting activities, but when injuries from leisure or sporting accidents could have been prevented you may be entitled to claim compensation.
For instance, the owner or occupier of premises where a sport takes place has to make sure that any person using the facility is safe from an accident and this includes private or public grounds. If you are learning a sport under tuition your trainer should be suitably qualified to ensure that you do not suffer harm. Safe equipment and protective clothing if required are prerequisites to certain sporting activities. The trainer/instructor has a legal obligation under health and safety regulations to meet these standards to ensure participants are free from unnecessary risk. Even in contact sports people have a duty not to injure you deliberately and not to play in such a dangerous way that will cause you to suffer personal injury.
