Sports Injury

The Law is actually very straightforward. High profile cases involving players such as Gordon Watson (Bradford City) and Chris Casper (Reading) have made it clear that all players have to take care for the safety of opponents. A player who injures an opponent as a result of a dangerous challenge can be ordered to pay compensation. Almost all players, at all levels are covered by insurance for such incidents.

So why do I need an expert lawyer?

Everyone knows that football is a fast moving game and serious injuries can occur without anyone being to blame. Our expertise means that we can give an immediate assessment of whether or not a case is worth pursuing – usually during the initial phone call. We often win cases after other lawyers have refused to get involved.

Keep the lawyers out of the game!
