Sports or Leisure Accidents
Injuries resulting from participation in sports and leisure activities can range from simple twists and sprains to catastrophic, life-changing conditions. The nature of the activity itself is not necessarily a guide to the seriousness of the accident which can result in:
- broken bones
- soft tissue and muscular injuries
- ligament damage to the knee
- back injuries
- head injuries
- spinal cord injuries.

A serious head or spinal injury caused by participation in a sport or adventure activity can have a drastic impact on the accident victim’s lifestyle and ability to earn a living and that is why you should talk to an experienced personal injury solicitor as soon as possible.
Holiday tour companies, hotels, sports facility operators, sports trainers, fitness coaches and leisure activity organisers all have a statutory duty to identify and reduce all unnecessary risk.
