Sports injury claims solicitors

The time limit for settling sport injury claims is usually three years after the accident. However, in terms of the compulsory Scottish pre-action protocol, your claim should be intimated as soon as possible.

If a child is involved in a sports accident the timescale will be three years for raising a court action following their 16th birthday.

There is a wide variety of types of sports injury claims, which qualify for compensation. Whether the injury happened during a sporting event, at a sports centre, or through a sporting accident, you may have grounds to claim compensation.

Injuries sustained during activities such as horse riding, playing sports, or using exercise machines can often be attributed to factors like faulty equipment, poorly maintained sports venues, or inadequate training.

For clients who do not have the benefit of Legal Expense Insurance (“LEI”) we deal with claims on a No Win No Fee basis, meaning you pay nothing if your case is unsuccessful. Even if you have LEI there is no requirement for you to accept the solicitors chosen by your insurers. You have the right to “freedom of choice”  if you feel they do not have the expertise for your claim or even the right location.

A No Win No Fee agreement is also known as a conditional fee agreement which is an agreement you make with us so that you can make your personal injury claim without having to put up any legal fees upfront. So if your claim is unsuccessful the agreement states you will not have to pay any fees, helping to relieve any stress or worry throughout the claim process.

We will fight for justice and fairness, we will do the hard work for you and are committed to making a positive difference.

We can claim compensation for any injury you suffer including for the foreseeable consequences of the injury where a professional’s career may be affected. You may also be able to claim for general out of pocket expenses, loss of earnings, care and assistance required and various other expenses.

• If the accident was in the last three years
• If someone else was at fault
• If you have suffered sporting injury and/or been off work as a result of the accident
• If you are out of pocket for miscellaneous expenses such as your policy excess, children’s car seats and hire costs.
