White water rafting is an extreme sport and, like all extreme sports, carries a risk of participants suffering injury. However, this does not mean that a white water rafting accident should be viewed as an unavoidable pitfall of the sport. In fact, it is the very risk associated with the sport that places an especial burden on organisers to ensure that the potential for accidents is minimised as much as is possible.
It is this strong element of risk that is the chief motivator behind most white water rafting operators asking participants to sign a disclaimer in which they state that they waive their rights to compensation in the event of most kinds of accidents.
However, even with such a disclaimer signed, it is not impossible to claim no win, no fee compensation in the event a white water rafter suffers injury; there remain various situations where damages may be secured regardless of any such disclaimer.
Equipment
It is a given that good, safe, suitable and well-maintained equipment should be provided whether it is lifebelts, helmets, other safety gear or the raft itself. In the event that equipment is not up to the job and a white water rafting accident occurs, it is likely that any injured parties will be able to proceed with a claim for full damages.
Inadequate accident response
It is not only an accident itself that compensation can be claimed for. Damages may also be awarded in the event that an operator has failed to respond adequately to the aftermath of accident. For example, if a person suffers injury and the operator has no suitable first aid response in place, the impact of an injury may be exacerbated and compensation may be sought for this fact.
A spokesperson from no win, no fee claim specialist YouClaim comments, "White water rafting is a potentially dangerous but thrilling sport. It really is a white knuckle ride but this does not mean that operators can absolve themselves of all liability for accidents.
"If you've been rafting and suffered personal injury in the process, it is always worth investigating your civil rights."
