It is still possible to achieve compensation for injuries you sustained as part of a sport that you might be partially at fault for. We would advise you to get in touch to see what your options are, as we’ve been able to secure significant amounts of compensation for people with injuries, even if they were found to be responsible in some way.
For example, you may have failed to follow regulations correctly while skiing, and sadly got into an accident. However, if there was a hazard in your way that caused the accident, and the company responsible should’ve taken steps to monitor the area and remove/signpost this, you could make a claim for compensation.
Sometimes you may have to accept a smaller amount of compensation if it’s proven you were partly responsible for a sports accident, but it’s still worth you getting in touch if you think somebody else could have prevented it.
Injuries caused by tackles and fighting sports like boxing/wrestling are common, and it can be tricky to know whether you could make a claim for compensation in this case. There is such a thing as a ‘legitimate tackle’ in football and other sports, or tackles that fit within the confines of the rules - but this varies depending on the sport and how it is governed.
Similarly, some injuries might have been unavoidable and an inevitable part of the sport. If you’re unsure about whether you can make a claim, don’t hesitate to get in touch to see whether you’d be eligible to compensation.
