    Can you claim for a Sports Injury?

    Osbornes Law specialises in sports injury claims. Our expert personal injury lawyers represent people who sustain an avoidable injury in sporting accidents, from professional sportsmen and women to 5-a-side footballers and weekend horse riders. So if you were injured in a horror tackle in a rugby match, by a malfunctioning gym machine or by a potholed soccer pitch you might want to get some legal advice.

    Our team of sports injury lawyers will fight to get you the compensation you are entitled to at no cost to you. We are experienced at doing this as quickly and efficiently as possible, allowing you to concentrate on recovering from your accident during what can be a very stressful time.

    These cases are not straightforward. To succeed, it is necessary to prove negligence. This may be the negligence of another player (although if the case involves a bad tackle it usually needs to be reckless and dangerous as well), the negligence of a trainer or instructor or that of the individual or organisation responsible for planning or supervising the event. Proof is necessary in the form of evidence, so we will need to discuss the circumstances of the accident with you in some detail to work out whether witnesses or documents will establish the case in negligence.

    How much compensation can I claim for a sports injury?

    The value of any sports injury claim will depend on the seriousness of the sports injury and its effect on your everyday life. So the Premier League footballer who retires from the game at age 21 may have a multi-million-pound claim whereas the broken finger that keeps the fitness addict out of the gym for two months may only be worth two or three thousand pounds. Whether it’s extreme sports or a family skiing accident, our job is to obtain the evidence to maximise the sports injury claim in the minimum time frame.

    How much does it cost to make a sports injury claim?

    The majority of personal injury cases are handled on a no win, no fee basis. This means that you won’t have to pay any upfront legal fees to start your claim. Instead, your solicitor’s fees will be deducted from the compensation awarded if the case is successful.

    What types of sports injuries can I claim for?

    We have helped clients claim compensation for a wide range of sports injuries including:
