The majority of sports carries some level of risk of injury for participants. In most cases where injury has occurred as part of play it is deemed that the participant is aware of the risk and has consented to being subjected to that risk of injury. It is only if the contact is beyond the normal force expected in a particular sport where it becomes reckless or dangerous where compensation can be claimed.

Sports injuries can also occur if the sports equipment is defective in some way or the referee/umpire has failed to take reasonable steps to prevent an accident or a qualified trainer has incorrectly advised or directed a player. Our fully trained staff can tell you whether you will be able to claim depending on the circumstances surrounding your sports related accident.
