Sports Injury Claims

If you or a family member have suffered a serious injury while playing sport, caused by someone else's actions, our award-winning personal injury team can help you claim for compensation.

Our personal injury solicitors specialise in sports injury claims, ranging from injury on the golf course to sailing accidents.

Our team of experts will review the individual circumstances of your injury and act quickly and sympathetically to support you through your case and access compensation to aid recovery.

The link between injuries suffered while playing sport and long-term health conditions is increasingly being highlighted, particularly among rugby and football players and boxers.

Our personal injury solicitors specialise in cases where injured sports players claim against the governing body of their sport or individual sport clubs for failing to keep them safe during sport, professional and amateur.

Our aim is to get in place appropriate rehabilitation quickly to help people get back to their former selves as far as possible, and to live their best possible lives.

If you have suffered an injury playing sport and would like to discuss a possible claim, contact Emma Hall for advice. We deal with any enquiries with respect and confidentiality.
