Football Injury Claim
Experiencing a football injury can mean the end of a promising career, or bring an end to your enjoyment of an activity you previously loved. Whether you play as a career, or just take part in the odd football game for fun, the result of a footballing injury can be devastating. If it demands a long recovery period or results in a disability, an injury like this can also be expensive, and it can come with a lot of frustration if your accident happened due to someone else's negligence.

Football accidents and injuries can arise through a number of situations and circumstances including due to unsafe playing environments, reckless tackles, poor coaching advice or inadequate safety measures. When football injuries happen, they can also be made worse if you're given inadequate first aid or medical care. The types of injuries sustained in the accident will determine how much compensation you could be entitled to.
Our personal injury solicitors have represented clients in many different types of football injury claims, and secured compensation that has supported their recovery. Some of the most common types of injury that have led to a personal injury claim in our experience include:
These are common in football and can occur due to head-to-head collisions, falls or strikes from the ball. can range from mild to severe and may have lasting effects, or be connected to other types of head injuries .
TBIs can occur in more serious cases, potentially resulting in long-term or physical impairments.
The ACL is at particular risk of injury among football players. This can occur due to sudden changes in direction or impact. Meniscus injuries can also be linked to twisting motions.
Ankle sprains and fractures are common when players change direction quickly,make sudden stops or are subjected to heavy tackles. Achilles tendon injuries are also a risk and can occur when the tendon is overstretched.
Injuries like are common in sports that involve quick pivots or stops, such as basketball or football. These may need surgery and extensive physiotherapy before you can return to playing.
Among the most serious injuries affect the spine. Repeated stress or sudden impacts can lead to spinal issues like back strains and herniated discs, which may result in compensation claims In rare cases, severe spinal injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis. It's vital to claim compensation in these cases, as treatment and recovery can be very expensive.
Arm and leg injuries can result from falls or tackles and commonly include fractures or dislocations. You may also experience rotator cuff injuries or strains caused by repetitive motions.
Football players often suffer from metatarsal fractures in the foot due to repetitive impact or direct trauma. Plantar fasciitis involves inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes.
These injuries can result from collisions with other players or falls. They may include broken teeth, eye injuries or other conditions. While they may not appear as serious as the most severe injuries, they can still have a significant effect on your day-to-day life and may affect your appearance for the rest of your life.
This is not a comprehensive list, and we know there are many other ways you might be injured playing football. If you've had an accident that wasn't your fault and experienced any injury - not only those listed above - you may be entitled to claim compensation. Our experts in football injury compensation claims can discuss your circumstances and advise you on whether or not we believe you're able to pursue a claim.
Football injury compensation varies according to the specific circumstances of your accident. There are two components to a compensation claim:
When you work with Switalskis, claims for football injuries can usually be pursued on a no win, no fee basis. A no win, no fee agreement means that you won't have to pay any legal fees if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim is successful, a contribution to your fees is paid as a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation. This ensures that you can make a football injury claim with limited financial risk.
When you work with a personal injury solicitor from Switalskis, you can be sure that we'll remain committed to the process throughout. While it's not always straightforward, there are key stages that all football injury claims will encounter.
Your football injury claim starts when you reach out to Switalskis. We'll start with a free, no obligation consultation where we discuss your circumstances and advise you as to whether we believe you have a claim.
If you decide to move ahead with a claim, we'll help you to collect evidence. We need to prove that your injury was due to someone else's negligence in order to succeed with a personal injury claim. We'll build a case using evidence like medical records, witness statements and accident reports or other documents.
When we are satisfied that there is a strong case to support your claim, we'll contact the party that we think is responsible for your accident. This may be a coach, a player, a sports facility or a manufacturer of equipment. We'll send them a letter of claim outlining your intention to recover compensation and the evidence that proves you are owed it.
In some football injury claims, the liable party admits fault straight away, and we'll begin to negotiate over the compensation you're owed. If they dispute the claim, we'll take the matter to court and present your claim to a judge to make a determination.
Our personal injury solicitors will remain by your side and you will be represented in court if your claim goes to trial. We'll present your claim in the strongest terms in order to secure the maximum amount of compensation.
When your claim is successful, we make sure you receive the money you are owed for the physical pain and emotional turmoil you've experienced. For no win, no fee football injury claims, this is also the point at which you'll pay the contribution to your legal fees. If you need any ongoing support, Switalskis will remain by your side to help you move forward with confidence.
To claim compensation for a football injury, you'll need to prove that negligence caused or contributed to the injury. Evidence you might need includes the following:
Each piece of evidence you can provide will help us to build a comprehensive case that establishes a clear link between the injury, the negligence that caused it, and the damages suffered. However, if you're not sure you can get suitable evidence, this should not put you off. Contact our solicitors to learn more about how we can help you to gather evidence and build a compelling compensation claim.
In most cases, football injury claims must start within three years of your accident. In some cases, this time limit for accident claims may not begin from the date of the accident, but from the 'date of knowledge' - the point at which you realised that the incident was responsible for your injury.
If the injured person lacks the mental capacity to make a football injury claim for themselves, there may be no time limits for the claim. If the person is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian can claim compensation on their behalf at any time before they turn 18. Otherwise, the time limit begins when they turn 18, meaning that they will have until they turn 21 to claim for themselves.
