For many, getting involved in sport is a popular pastime and, for some, a professional career. Thankfully, most sporting activities pass without incident.
Indeed, we all accept that we may injure ourselves from time to time due to the very nature of sport, but there may be occasions when an injury is suffered as the result of the negligence of another person or organisation. When this occurs, you may be able to bring a claim for personal injury.
The types of incident which may make you eligible to claim include:-
- Inadequate instruction, training or supervision
- Defective or unsafe facilities or equipment
- Defects in playing surfaces
- Reckless, malicious or violent conduct of competitors
- Injuries suffered as a result of school sporting activities
The type of injury which may be suffered can vary greatly depending on the kind of sport being undertaken and the nature of the incident giving rise to the injury. Sporting injuries may be minor but can sometimes result in significant life changing injuries.
Spectator Sports Injury Claims
It is also possible to be injured while watching a sports event. If it was not your fault, for example, if you were provided with unsafe seating , there was dangerous overcrowding or there was inadequate lighting, you can also make a claim.
At LeoClaims we have specialist solicitors who can advise on all aspects of sports injury claims.
