You may be eligible to file a claim for compensation for sports injuries if the injury you sustained was the result of the negligence of another person.
It’s natural to think that if you get hurt while playing sports, you have no legal recourse. Not necessarily, though. You may be entitled to financial compensation if you were hurt in an accident that was the result of another person’s carelessness.
Injuries to players
It’s annoying and sad when an injury occurs in sports, but it’s even more so when it could have been prevented. A personal injury claim may be an option for financial compensation if you were hurt due to someone else’s negligence.
A claim may be possible, for instance, if you break your leg in a tackle by someone who was coached poorly. If you were hurt while using a piece of equipment that had clearly not been serviced, you might potentially file a claim.
You may have been the victim of an assault or other violent incident, or you may have been hurt while playing on hazardous terrain. If you were hurt because you weren’t shown how to do anything properly, like use a piece of equipment, you could file a claim.
Their No-Win, No-Fee lawyers will assist you in making the most compelling case imaginable.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
If your claim is successful, their No Win No Fee attorneys will deduct a success fee from the damages you get. Except in the case of traffic accidents, this maximum will not exceed 25%. Legal fees for cases involving traffic accidents will now be 30% of the total compensation sum plus VAT according to recent legislative changes.

Injuries to spectators
It’s not common for spectators to get hurt at sporting events, but it does happen. As a spectator, you risk injury from a variety of sources.
Slips, trips, and falls are possible outcomes due to the venue’s lack of maintenance. Overcrowding or a lack of adequate measures to manage the crowd could further increase the risk of injury.
Injury is also possible by being struck by a ball, bat, or racket during a sporting event. As a spectator, you also run the risk of being the victim of violence.
As a spectator, you may be entitled to compensation if you sustain injuries in an accident that was not your fault.
Why should I make a sports injury claim?
A personal injury might have serious consequences. Long-term treatment, missed employment, or even a permanent health issue are all possibilities.
If you’ve been hurt and it wasn’t your fault, you should seek financial restitution. You can use this money to seek the medical care you need and get back on your feet faster.
Make sure the cause of your sports injury gets the attention it deserves by filing a claim for compensation. This information could be used by sports organizers to figure out what went wrong and prevent such incidents in the future.
How long do I have to make a claim?
You typically have three years from the date of your sport-related injuries to file a claim. However, there are a few notable outliers.
For instance, there is no time limit on filing a claim for a kid up until the time they turn 18, after which the three-year statute of limitations begins to run. There is probably no time limit involved if you are making a claim on behalf of someone who lacks the mental capacity to make their own claim.
Get in contact with their helpful team of experts if you have any concerns concerning the time limit for filing a claim. They will gladly help you sort things out over the phone.
