All sorts of sports involve the risk of personal injury, but did you know that even if you willingly undertake sporting activities that have an inherent risk of injury you are still owed a duty of care: from your competitors, from the occupier of the land where the sport is being played, and from your employer if you are playing in a work-sponsored team sport? Even if you took reasonable precautions to protect yourself from injury, you could still be injured through someone else's negligence. If that is the case, then you could be eligible for a sports injury claim.
Accident compensation or personal injury compensation can be awarded for some sports injuries, so if you have been hurt while playing a sport and the injury was caused by somebody else's negligent behaviour or actions then contact us to discuss your eligibility for a claim. With sports injuries claims the claimant needs to be able to show that someone had a duty of care over them, that the person or organisation with that duty of care were responsible for their sports injury and that the claimant themselves were not personally responsible. They therefore need to be able to show that this negligence was a direct cause of their injury, that it was reasonable to foresee it happening and that therefore it could have been avoided.
If you would like to know more about sports injuries claims and think you could be eligible for compensation, contact us today.
