We would recommend making your claim at the first opportunity, because the law within the United Kingdom only allows an adult three years after the date of the accident or injury for a claim to be made. If the claim was to be brought outside of this time limit, you may have lost your legal right to file a claim for compensation. If you have an accident before you reach 18 years of age, you have 3 years from your 18th birthday in which to bring Court proceedings for the claim.
Each sport carries their own set of injury concerns and tennis is no different, from foot and ankle injuries to shoulder injuries. In such an intensive and fast paced sport a player will place a great deal of pressure on their joints and muscles and from time to time will succumb to injury.
The first step towards lodging a complaint is to have your injuries assessed by a doctor. The diagnosis of your injury, whether long-term or short-term, is essential in deciding the level of compensation you'll be entitled to. Conditions like asbestosis that will continue to affect your health in the distant future will entitle you to substantially more compensation than a sports injury like a sprained ankle which will recover in time.
The first step to determining what kind of injury you have is to think about how you got it. Ankle sprains are commonly characterized by a popping sound or tearing sound, and are generally associated with discomfort, rather than debilitating pain. If you can still more your ankle around the joint and can continue to put weight on it, your injury is most probably a sprain.
Many solicitors now work on a no win no fee basis which means that your case won't be made on unless there is good chance that it'll be successful. It is therefore important that you look into the advantages and disadvantages of your claim before you launch an expensive and time-consuming legal battle.
Evidence is crucial in proving that someone else was responsible for your injury. If possible you should retain as much information as possible about the location or time that the damage was sustained. Take a sketch or picture of the scene. Gather witness details. Ensure that you get a written medical diagnosis signed by a medical professional. It may also be helpful to retain receipts and payslips if you're intending to claim for loss of income or other financial expenses that were suffered as a result of the injury.
Making a personal injury claim may appear to be a daunting prospect but the compensatory awards can be immensely helpful in enabling you to recover without financial worries. You could also rest easy that the accident won't happen to anyone else.
