Sports Injury Compensation Claim

Most people in the UK like to unwind playing sport or partaking in a leisure activity, and many will have suffered an injury at one time or another - it comes with territory you may think. But think again...

Your safety is your right, and if you have been injured as the direct result of someone else's negligence or recklessness, then you could and probably should claim what is rightfully yours - a sports injury compensation claim.

People have been getting injured playing sport for years... what's changed?

While in the past sporting injuries have been thought of as inevitable consequences of taking part in contact activity, but with the growth of the 'No Win No Fee' industry over the past decade, people have become a lot more aware of their rights, should they have been injured as a result of negligence.

The area of law that surrounds sports injury claims remains complex, as a number of injuries types wouldn't qualify for a compensation claim. But before we get to that, listed below are some of potential causes of injury that could result in a claim.

• Reckless or violent conduct
• Defects in playing surfaces
• Defective equipment
• Lack of proper supervision
• Injuries sustained during school sporting activities

However, claims may be invalid if:

• the injury was a result of normal "rough and tumble" play
• someone is injured because of simple carelessness
• an injury occurs because of an innocent lack of judgment

Remember, it is up to you to prove your injury was a result of either negligence, or reckless or malicious intent. At Legal Request we are experts in this field, and our help could prove invaluable in your quest to receive the full amount of compensation that is rightfully yours.
