In today's blog, Tim Meakin Nottingham shares about sports injury claims. Let's get started!
Whatever sport you play, there’s always the risk of suffering an injury. Although many sports carry a risk of injury, some carry a much greater risk of serious injuries such as horse riding, skiing, climbing, and motorsports, to name a few of the sports that are more dangerous than others.Many injuries that happen during sporting activities can be a result of a lack of physical fitness or are genuine accidents, which cannot usually warrant a sports injury compensation claim. If, however, you have come to harm as a result of faulty sports equipment, dangerous premises or facilities, or the deliberate action of another player acting outside the rules of the sport, you may be eligible for compensation.
The most common sports injuries
- Wrist injuries, including fractures, sprains and other injuries
- Dislocations – shoulder dislocations are the most common injury
- Back injuries, including vertebral fractures and slipped discs
- Knee injuries – ligament and tendon knee injuries tend to be the most common

How to make a claim for sports injury
It's always important to seek immediate medical attention. It is also important to report your injury either to a member of staff or the umpire or referee of the game so they can report your injury to the relevant organising body of the sport if there is one. The next step will be to establish whether or not you are eligible to claim compensation.
