Sporting Injuries
When you play sport you generally agree to partake in the normal rough and tumble of whatever sport it is.
However if your opponent deliberately goes out to injure you or plays in a particularly dangerous or reckless way then you may be able to claim.
In addition, claims may also arise if you are learning a sport and an accident occurs due to the fault of the teacher; or against the owner or occupier of the sporting facility, if an injury occurs as a result of an unsafe sporting venue.
Therefore, if you are involved in any sports activities, you should ensure that you have adequate insurance to protect against claims from fellow participants. If you are part of a “team”, then you should enquire about the team acquiring insurance cover to protect the team members from claims against opposing teams, officials or spectators.
