Sports injury compensation claims
Our medical negligence solicitors pursue claims for negligent treatment of sports injuries.
These are regularly diagnosed and treated by doctors and physiotherapists. However, when an injury or condition has not been correctly diagnosed or treated we can recover compensation. Treatment of Achilles tendon, anterior cruciate ligament and metatarsal injuries are common sources of sports injury claims.

We're here to help
Claims are commonly pursued against orthopaedic surgeons but we have also pursued sports injury claims against physiotherapists for delay in diagnosis and referral of injuries. Whilst sometimes responsibility can rest with the professional sports club involved, usually the doctor or physiotherapist will have their own insurance and will be the defendant in any claim.
We act for professional and recreational sports people alike and have particular expertise assessing the complicated financial losses which result from negligent treatment of sports injuries which can delay or even prevent a return to professional sport. Whatever the nature of the case, it is very likely that one of our medical negligence solicitors will have dealt with a similar case before, allowing us to focus on the most important medical and evidential issues from the beginning of the investigation.
We have clients all over the country and are pleased to visit families in their homes. We feel that it is important to speak to our clients face to face so you feel comfortable with your solicitor and so your solicitor gets to know you and can better understand your individual needs.
Through other specialist teams within the firm we can help you secure all the assistance that you are entitled to and ensure that any compensation will be managed in the most advantageous way possible. You can find further information about the different ways we can help you in our related services.
