Very few sports are risk free, but we are all entitled to enjoy facilities, organisation and refereeing which allows any sport to be reasonably safe.

Unacceptable risks

The following are examples of circumstances where a claim for negligence might be brought:

• An obvious or avoidable defect is present on a court, or pitch or with equipment;
• A referee or supervisor does not make reasonable efforts to prevent a foreseeable injury. An example might be where a referee allowed a second row player to play at prop in a rugby game;
• Inadequate training or supervision - for instance by giving incompetent instructions as to how to use equipment;
• Reckless or dangerous conduct by other players - for instance obviously dangerous tackles or an assault

We will be able to advise in relation to all sporting accidents, wherever they occur, whether you have a claim.

No win no fee – 100% damages

Most claims can be funded at no cost to you by a “no win no fee” agreement, and you will keep 100% of the damages recovered.
