Football Injury Claims
Claims for compensation for personal injury can arise when the victim
of an injury has sustained the damage whilst playing in an organised game
of football.
Commonly compensation is claimed and awarded where a player has been caused serious injury due the negligence or recklessness of another player, or if the referee has allowed play to continue when it was clearly unsafe to do so.
Generally, only organised matches are covered by the Law. As a matter of practicality, it is easier to apportion liability if all parties are insured which is most common in football leagues where the players pay to play. Furthermore, it is essential that the match was officiated over by a Referee qualified to control that type of game.
TYPES OF INJURY CLAIM
1. Fractured Foot Compensation
Claims
More usually known as a broken foot. These range from serious displaced
fractures requiring surgical intervention to less serious hairline breaks.
Generally these are treated with a plaster cast and back slab. Recovery
can take between six to twelve weeks and it is possible that the individual
may be left with some residual disability.
2. Sprained Foot Compensation
Claims
Commonly known as soft tissue or ligament injuries. As with all injuries
the symptoms vary from person to person and damages will be assessed individually
depending on any residual symptoms that may exist.
3. Fractured Knee Compensation
Claims
More usually known as a broken knee. These range from serious displaced
fractures requiring surgical intervention to less serious hairline breaks.
Generally these are treated with a plaster cast and back slab. Recovery
can take between six to twelve weeks and it is possible that the individual
may be left with some residual disability.
