Our first priority is to make sure you are given open and honest advice from the outset about whether your claim is likely to succeed. We will discuss the incident at length with you, and where necessary carry out other investigations to try and establish if we can prove your injury occurred as a result of someone else's negligence or breach of duty.
Once we have investigated the claim and are satisfied you have the potential to succeed, we will set about proving your sports injury claim and securing the best possible settlement.
Why use Access Legal from Shoosmiths?
There are many types of accident leading to sports injury claims. Some may be caused by the failure of an individual to properly monitor a situation - for example a ski instructor failing to keep students under proper guidance - while some may happen through a failure to maintain premises or equipment.
Whatever the circumstances, we have the skill and expertise to listen to what you have to say and make the appropriate enquiries to see whether your claim can succeed. Our personal injury specialists have the breadth and depth of knowledge to look into any given situation and assess what investigations are required. We'll then assess the outcome of those investigations and give you the best advice.
Important things to consider
You have to be sure that the firm you choose to represent you has the expertise to properly investigate and pursue your claim. One of the hardest battles people face when making sports injury claims is proving the accident was caused by the negligence or breach of duty of others, and you will need a firm of solicitors prepared to go the extra mile to prove your claim. Access Legal from Shoosmiths is that firm.
Obtaining evidence of how the accident happened as quickly as you can after the incident can be vital. Where possible you should obtain photographic evidence of where the accident happened, and if it involved specific equipment you believe was faulty or broken you should take some pictures of it.
If there were witnesses to what happened, try and get their details and make sure you can pass them on to us as witnesses can often make a difference to your chances of successfully making a claim.
