Sports Injuries

To make a sports injury compensation claim, you need to show evidence that negligence caused your injury(s) or complicated your full recovery. This could be a sports coach, an organisation, a referee or another player. Our personal injury team will assess your sports injury(s) together with your medical records to establish your circumstances. We will then let you know if we think you have grounds to make a personal injury claim for your injury(s). If you are comfortable with us representing you, we will then start your claim. 

As with all personal injury claims, the amount of time it takes can significantly vary because no 2 accidents are the same. There are 2 issues to take into consideration when making a sports injury claim which are liability (who was to blame for your injury) and medical evidence. This process could also get a little bit more complex if medical negligence was also partly to blame for your injury(s). If medical negligence is found, you may be entitled to more compensation. 

How much compensation you receive will depend on the type of injury you have sustained, how it has affected you, and how it might affect you in the future. However, our specialist personal injury solicitors will ensure that you receive the full amount of compensation you deserve, including any costs you have incurred or loss of earnings. We will provide you with advice about the claims process and how much we think yours is worth. 

Very few sports injury claims end up going to court. If those who caused your injury(s) admit liability, then we will be able to settle your case without the need to attend a court. However, in the unlikely event that your the case ends up in court, our experienced personal injury solicitors will support you throughout the process. 

If you have suffered from a sports injury, then the general rule is that you must file your claim within 3 years of the incident taking place. If you have been injured and it wasn’t your fault, then the best thing to do is contact us as soon as possible. Our expert team of solicitors have years of experience dealing with negligence claims and can help you secure the compensation you rightly deserve. 

Yes, you can represent yourself if you wish to. However, a sports injury claim is a lot to take on by yourself (especially if you are still suffering from your injuries). Those who are liable for your injury(s) may also take advantage of the fact you are representing yourself. That is why it is so important to work with a personal injury solicitor who will have your best interest at heart to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. We specialise in no win no fee claims, so you have nothing to lose by contacting our team.  

Spinal injury and brain injury claims are different to other types of personal injury or accident claims. This is because they usually have a more serious impact on individuals and total recovery after sustaining such an injury is slim. We are specialists in serious injury claims, so if you wish to start your claim, please contact our team today. 

Under UK law, those under the age of 18 cannot file for their own sports injury compensation claims because they lack the required “legal capacity”. However, a parent or guardian can be appointed to represent their child and file for compensation on their behalf. This person is known as a litigation friend. They take on all the responsibility that is related to the sports injury claim.

Yes, we will arrange a medical examination to gain a full understanding of the extent of your injury(s) and then a report will be compiled to support your claim. The reason we do this is to ensure that we get the maximum amount of compensation for you. 

With negligence claims where an injury was caused by someone else, most solicitors are willing to take on these cases on a no win no fee basis. What no win no fee means is that if a solicitor doesn’t win your compensation claim, you are not required to pay their fees.
