Call to Talk About Sports Injury Claims — Our personal injury solicitors ** are just a free phone call away and will quickly guide you on whether we can help you to make a sports injury claim for an accident that you have suffered. Whether playing football, rugby, horse-riding, in the gym, or any other sport-related injury, then we can work on a no win, no fee * agreement.

Sport Injury Claims — Call the Experts
With any form of sporting activity, there are inherent dangers and a likelihood of injury occurring. Our solicitors ** deal with many cases each year, including:
- Football injury claims
- Accidents in the gym
- Rugby accident compensation
- Horse-riding injuries
- Cricket
- Boxing
- Hockey
The sports injury claims that we deal with don’t always happen to involve professional sportsmen and women. They can apply to any member of the UK public who has been injured during the course of playing sports.
Sports injury claims don’t always affect adult participants. You might also have a child who was hurt at school whilst involved in a PE lesson. For children, sporting injury claims can be processed legally up to the age of 21, whereas adult personal injury claims need to be made within three years of the accident happening.
Types of Sport Injuries
Common injuries we see in claims for sports injury compensation typically involve the legs and arms, and manifest as breaks, fractures, bruising, cuts, and ligament damage.
Many cases will see victims suffer life-changing injuries due to their sporting accident. These can be spinal damage, brain damage, and paralysis (more common injury in rugby and horse-riding). We have some of the very best brain injury solicitors ** in the UK working with us for such claims.
In more serious cases, we are even able to act on a family’s behalf where a loved one has died whilst playing sport.
If the injury occurred due to the fault of a third party, then you will be able to proceed. Perhaps this was some form of recklessness on another person’s behalf, or poorly maintained sporting equipment and facilities. If you can prove the accident was not your fault, then it’s likely you can make a sports injury claim.
How Sporting Accidents Occur
A sporting accident can happen in any circumstance. Accidents that lead to sports injury claims most commonly occur in the following types of scenarios:
- Dangerous tackles on the pitch, for example in rugby or football
- Poorly maintained or dangerous sporting pitches (chemical, glass, uneven ground)
- Assaults and violence whist playing sports (from an opponent, teammate, or spectator)
- Faulty or damaged sporting equipment
- Bad management and coaching leading to injury

Sports Injury Claims for Spectators
You don’t even need to be playing a sport to be able to claim for injury compensation. We have also had personal injury cases where we have helped spectators out with legal guidance:
- Riots or sporting hooliganism leading to assault and injury
- Being hit by sports equipment, such as a ball flying into the crowd
- Stadium or seating malfunctions leading to death or serious injury
- Automotive injuries, for example a rally car leaving the road
How to Make a Sport Injury Claim
Should you wish to talk to us about sports injury claims, then please follow the outlined set of points:
- Firstly, ensure that you have received medical treatment, and ensure everything is logged on your medical records. This will support any costs we need to claim back.
- Make sure that you gather any witness statements, or at the very least get some contact details. This will help us prove liability.
- Call our accident claims helpline and speak to our experts. We will then assess your injury claim and assign you a personal injury solicitor ** with experience in handing sports injury claims.
- Complete the documents and check-lists that your solicitor provides you. Follow their guidance, as this will mean that the claim is processed as quickly as possible, and will result in a quicker compensation pay-out.
How Much Compensation for Sports Injury Claims?
There is no way to provide an accurate answer to this question until we have fully assessed your claim and after speaking to you. What we will do though is aim to get the highest compensation possible. This will be calculated based on supporting factors such as pain and suffering endured, distress, loss of earnings, time off work, expenses, and costs accrued. All of these form as part of your sports injury compensation package.
We work tirelessly to make sure that we re-coup 100% of any financial losses that you will have suffered whilst injured playing sport. In some circumstances, we will even get an advance on the compensation before the final verdict so that you can be supported and rehabilitated during the legal process.
Sports injury claims tend to involve a lot of different factors compared to standard accident claims. In the cases of professional sportsmen and women this is even more so as their livelihood depends on them being able to make a living from playing sports. With cases such as this, we will claim for loss of any future earnings.
In other serious cases where nursing care is needed, including adapted homes for the disabled and unique transport requirements, then those will also be accounted for.
In the very rare cases where death is involved in a sports injury claim, then we will work to claim a large settlement for the family involved, as well as any funeral expenses and associated costs.
