UK SPORTS INJURIES COMPENSATION CLAIM

Thousands of UK sportsmen suffer sports injuries every year by foul play, inadequate instruction, unexpected violence or unsafe playing facilities. Sports facilities, leagues and teams usually have insurance to cover any risk that you may be exposed to.

Circumstances that may give rise to a successful compensation claim include:

• If someone injures you as a result of deliberate or reckless foul play then you will be able to claim compensation for your injuries.
• If you are taking formal instruction from a trainer and you are exposed to unnecessary risk that results in injury then you may be able to claim compensation for inadequate supervision.
• If you have been physically injured by a violent assault then in addition to being able to claim from The Criminal Injury Compensation Authority you can also take civil proceedings for compensation.
• If playing surfaces are not properly cared for then the occupier of the sports ground will be held liable to pay compensation for any sports injuries resulting from a lack of proper maintenance.

Sports violence has been defined as behaviour which causes harm, occurs outside of the rules of the sport, and is unrelated to the competitive objectives of the sport. Violence is most prevalent in team contact sports including hockey, football, and rugby however it also occurs in other sports which usually involve considerably less contact. If injury is caused to another player as a result of a contravention of that particular sport's rules then a claim for compensation can be made. There are generally accepted to be two forms of aggression in sports:

• Instrumental aggression is non-emotional and relates to the way in which the game is played and involves such items as deliberate or professional fouls where the intention is to win the game at any cost, contrary to the rules of the particular sport, even if other players are injured.
• Reactive aggression has an underlying emotional component, with harm as its goal, where one player wants to get even or loses his temper and lashes out at another player.
