Snowboarding Accident Claims
Skiing and snowboarding are exhilarating winter sports, but they come with inherent risks. However, while you can usually avoid accidents and injuries by following safety best practices, there are situations where someone else's mistake can change everything. If you have sustained a snowboarding injury due to someone else's negligence - whether that's another skier or snowboarder, a ski lift operator, a safety instructor or anyone else - you may be facing a long road to recovery.
In these situations, it is often possible for people who have been injured to make snowboarding accident claims. Skiing and snowboarding accident compensation can make a big difference to your recovery, by accounting for lost earnings during your time off work, or paying for the very best treatment. At Switalskis, we've worked with many people who've been injured on ski slopes, and helped them to access the resources and compensation they needed to make a full recovery, or adjust to their new circumstances.
Snowboarding accident claims can be complex, but the team at Switalskis will do as much of the work as possible, so you can focus on the things that matter to you - like your recovery. Whether you've experienced a minor injury or something more serious, our skiing injury compensation claim experts are here to help.
To discuss your specific circumstances and explore your options, please call us today on 0800 1380 458, or get in touch via our form.
When you first get in touch with Switalskis, we'll start with a free consultation where we'll talk about your skiing or snowboarding accident and whether other skiers or parties may have been responsible. We'll evaluate your eligibility to claim compensation based on the specifics of how your accident happened and let you know whether we believe you're entitled to compensation. If so, and you decide to go ahead, we'll explain the process in detail and get started on collecting evidence to support your claim.
Switalskis is set apart from other firms by our personal touch, and the time we invest in getting to know you and your needs. Injuries from a snowboarding accident can range from broken bones, head injuries and spinal damage. This affects not only how much compensation you could receive, but your care needs during your recovery. By learning more about you and your circumstances, we can make sure we offer services that fulfil your needs.
We prioritise clarity, and will explain everything clearly, in as much detail as possible, to help you make decisions. We'll make sure you always know what is happening with your claim so that, instead of worrying about compensation, you can focus on your recovery. Throughout the process, your Switalskis solicitor will remain steadfast and always fight to secure the maximum amount of compensation for you.
The thought of making a compensation claim after an accident can be daunting, but the process itself doesn't have to be. In fact, it's relatively straightforward, although not every claim moves forward in the same way. The usual milestones that the claims process must follow are:
The process starts with a free initial discussion of the circumstances of your accident. We'll listen to your story, determine whether you can make a claim and give you a clear outline of the next steps.
We will gather essential evidence. This includes copies of your medical records, any photographs of the accident scene, statements from witnesses and a piste report from the local piste authorities where possible. We need to prove your injury, who was at fault, and why.
When we've built a strong case, we'll send notification of your claim to the responsible party and their insurance company.
The defendant or their insurer will have around four months to assess your claim and respond, either by accepting or denying liability. If they accept, we'll begin negotiating over the amount of compensation you should receive.
If the defendant denies liability or negotiations break down, our solicitors will take your case to court. We'll present the evidence we've collected in the strongest terms and support you every step of the way.
If your claim is successful, you'll receive your compensation. Your wellbeing and financial recovery are our top priorities, and we'll make sure you have everything you need for your recovery and beyond.
Skiing and snowboarding injury claims can be complex, but the dedicated Switalskis team will give you the confidence to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Every skiing and snowboarding accident claim is different, and the value of the compensation depends upon the specific circumstances of your accident. Important factors include the severity of the injury, the impact on your life and work, and any financial losses related to the accident.
Compensation can be broken down into two main categories:
General damages compensate for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity resulting from the injury. The amount awarded depends on the nature and severity of the injury, based on recommendations in the Judicial College Guidelines. Minor injuries like cuts or bruises will generally result in less compensation than serious head or spinal injuries, but your solicitor can advise you on roughly how much compensation to expect.
Special damages cover financial losses and expenses caused by the accident.
For these reasons, the compensation in any personal injury claims is different in each case. Your solicitor will calculate a fair compensation amount that represents the maximum amount that you are owed, and negotiate strongly to secure that amount for you.
