Sports injuries
Both professional players and amateur sportsmen can sustain nasty injuries on the court or pitch. Injuries do not just apply in the commonly known high risk contact sports such as rugby or football.
The area of sports injuries law is not straightforward and can be controversial. The cases are difficult because they involve situations of injury, often in a fast moving contact sport in which the players are aware of the risks.
A serious sports injury can put you out of work and action for a long period of time.
Compensation claims can be brought against:
- Other players
- Organisers of sporting events
- Owners of sporting grounds

Our personal injury team is able to act on behalf of professional players and amateur sportsmen who have been injured while participating in sporting activities.
