Which Sports Injuries Can You Claim Compensation For?

When you think of personal injury compensation claims, you are likely to think of injuries sustained in car accidents or a slip on a wet floor. But did you know that you can claim compensation for some sports injuries? Claim-Easy’s expert panel of solicitors has extensive experience in handling compensation claims for various sports injuries. Claim-Easy.co.uk is full of accessible information on all sorts of claims and the Claim-Easy team is helpful, professional and straight-talking, making the compensation claim process “easy-peasy”.

Anyone that enjoys sports will know that injury is at times unavoidable, especially in contact sports such as football, rugby and hockey. However, many people do not realise that some sports injuries can be the basis of a compensation claim - to compensate for the pain of the injury itself as well as any medical costs, ongoing treatment and any time off work or loss of earnings incurred. Most sports involve an element of risk and each participant implicitly accepts this by taking part, however each participant also accepts a duty of care to the other players. Therefore, if you are injured as a result of a legal tackle, no matter how serious the injury, you are not eligible to claim compensation as there was no one to blame. But if you are injured in an illegal tackle, for instance in rugby or football, then you may be able to claim injury compensation from the competitor that tackled you illegally.

Compensation claims for sports injuries are also possible if the organiser or owner of the sports facilities was negligent in their duty of care. Perhaps you injured yourself working out on gym equipment which was old, broken or poorly maintained, or perhaps you fell while playing on poorly maintained courts or playing surfaces. You may even be able to claim for a sports injury if you were a spectator in the crowd and the public viewing areas were not made safe.

No matter where your sports injury occurred (at school, in a public sports area, in a gym or leisure centre, on council or private property), whether you were a competitor, referee, coach or spectator, or what the surrounding circumstances were, if the accident was not your fault then you may be able to claim for sports injury compensation.

WHIPLASH: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Find out the facts about Whiplash Claims

Whiplash is one of the most common injuries one can suffer as a result of a car accident, although the term is actually non-medical and refers to general neck strain. If you’ve been in any sort of accident which may have resulted in you having whiplash, you need to know the facts. Symptoms of whiplash are often delayed for up to 12 hours and although this is a common injury, there are some common misconceptions. Here, claims management company Claim Easy (www.claim-easy.co.uk) highlights what you should know about the injury itself and the dos and don’ts of whiplash claims.

Whiplash, or “soft tissue cervical hyperextension injury”, can be suffered as a result of motor vehicle accidents, sporting injuries, slips trips and falls and even assault. The speed of deceleration experienced in most car accidents is the reason they are the most common causes of whiplash, however it is a misconception that there has to be sufficient speed to cause such a neck sprain. In fact, speeds as low as 15mph can be enough to cause whiplash; most people who experience such a ‘prang’ may not realise that it has been sufficient to damage their neck, especially if their symptoms are delayed for some time. Another common misconception is that wearing a seat belt can help prevent such injury. Of course wearing a seat belt is essential, but even if you have a slow impact crash while wearing a seat belt, you may still suffer whiplash.

This is why any personal injury that causes hyperextension of the neck should be taken seriously. Should you experience neck strain in an accident, fall or sporting injury, be on the lookout for symptoms, even days later. These symptoms include pain and/or swelling in the neck; tenderness

and/or muscle spasms, either on the side or back of your neck; headache; shooting pain from your neck; and difficulty moving your neck.

Should you find yourself suffering from whiplash through no fault of your own, or if you think you may have experienced whiplash as a result of an injury suffered within the last three years, then you may be eligible for injury compensation. Claim-Easy are experts in all sorts of personal injury compensation and have won countless successful whiplash claims for clients. All personal injury claims handled by Claim-Easy are managed entirely on a No Win No Fee basis and successful claimants receive 100% compensation.

Claim-Easy Helps to Cushion the Blow of Slips, Trips and Falls

Did you know that many slips, trips and falls that happen in public places are caused by some sort of negligence from those that have a duty of care over you? If you slip, trip or fall in a shop, restaurant, at work or even in the street and it was due to a level of negligence or lack of care, caused by broken paving stones or a wet floor for instance, then you could be eligible to claim compensation. Claim-Easy (www.claim-easy.co.uk) are experts in slips trips and fall claims and help hundreds of people cushion the blow of their slips and trips by securing them compensation.

Slips trips and fall claims are on the rise and successful cases lead to thousands of pounds being awarded in personal injury compensation every year. This is in part due to the fact that people are now more aware of the many situations in which they are covered by a duty of care. It’s no longer just your workplace that needs to be kept safe in order to protect the employees; it’s also many public places, from schools and shopping centres to pubs and playing fields. Slips and trips that were caused by the negligence of the owner, company or governing authority of such a place, could lead to a successful claim. This is because they had an inherent duty of care to ensure that the area was safe and that no such negligence occurred.

Such cases can be less black and white than, for instance, whiplash claims arising from someone being hit in their vehicle from behind. In slips, trips and fall claims, you need to prove that you suffered your personal injury in a place that had a duty of care over you and vitally that it was directly caused by their negligence in providing that care. It’s an unfortunate fact that fraudulent claims do happen, which is why if you have a genuine case you need expert representation to ensure that you get what is

rightfully yours in compensation. Claim-Easy are a claims management company with a highly trained and experienced panel of solicitors that will be able to advise you on your particular situation. Their help has led to countless successful injury claims of all sorts, so contact one of the team to see if you could have a case. Visit www.claim-easy.co.uk for more information.
