Sports Injury

Physical sports carry with them a certain level of risk for those involved and sports injuries can occur as part of a game. If you agreed to play these sports you are considered to have consented to this natural level of injury risk. If a sports injury occurs that is not part of normal play however, it may be possible to claim damages.

There are certain circumstances under which a sports injury can occur due to negligence however.  For example:

Sports Injury
  • A dangerous defect present on a pitch, court, equipment or other sporting facility
  • If a referee or umpire did not fulfil their duty to make all reasonable efforts to prevent unnecessary risks during a sports game
  • Inadequate supervision or training in the sport where it would normally be required
  • Incorrect instructions on the sport from a formal instructor or trainer
  • Reckless or dangerous conduct by players of the sport
  • Unsafe or poorly maintained sporting equipment and facilities 

Common claims for sports injury are for back injury, head injury, concussion, knee injury, elbow injury and ankle injury.  If you need to take time off from work to recover then it is even more important to look into whether or not you have a compensation case.
