Although the number of people in the UK who participate in sporting activities is declining, there are still millions who, every year, still take racquet in hand or put ball to foot in order to enjoy a bit of exercise. While most injuries that participants incur are purely sporting-related, there are, however, still numerous instances where the injury sustained may necessitate the lodging of a no win, no fee claim.
All sporting facilities in the UK take out liability insurance so as to protect themselves from the cost of compensation arising from personal injury claims, so any no win, no fee claimant can rest assured that seeking financial redress for any injuries they suffer is unlikely to adversely affect the solvency of the defendant.
The majority of the UK's sporting and leisure operators are very careful about minimising risk to members of the public, so accidents arising from their negligence are relatively rare. However, accidents do still occur, and when they do anyone who sustains personal injury has a right to make a no win, no fee claim.
Examples of the kinds of claims we deal with
Here are two examples of the kinds of compensation claims we receive as a result of accidents that occur at sporting and leisure facilities:
In January of 2004, we received a no win, no fee claim from a 38-year-old Londoner called Bill. As usual, Bill had been playing his weekly game of squash with a colleague when, looking to reach a shot that had landed deep court, his head hit the edge of squash court door.
Though they had not noticed when they had entered the court, the door was faulty and had failed to close properly, so posed an obvious hazard.
The impact of Bill's head against the door fractured his eye socket and he only narrowly avoided long-term damage to his vision.
As the evidence was so overwhelming, the sports club's insurers were forced to accepted liability for the claim and paid out a substantial sum of personal injury compensation.
In April of the same year, Mary contacted us as she had suffered a broken toe while lifting free-weights at her local gym.
She had recently become a mother so, looking to get back into shape, had employed one of the gym's personal trainers to help her.
While attempting some bicep curls one of the weights loaded on to the dumbbell slipped and landed on her foot, breaking two bones in the process.
Our personal injury solicitors believed that while loading the dumbbell, her personal trainer should have recognised that the pin he was using to fasten them was worn and insecure.
Eventually, not wishing to face lengthy litigation, the gym's insurers agreed and accepted full liability and, in recognition of her injuries, Mary's no win, no fee claim resulted in the award of a four-figure sum of personal injury compensation.
