As a rough contact sport you expect mishaps in rugby matches. However, if you’ve been injured as a result of a reckless or violent tackle, you may have a rugby injury claim.
Yes, if you’ve been injured through someone else’s negligent action or aggressive behaviour and you’ve required medical treatment.
Common injuries include:
If an injury is caused deliberately then criminal charges may also be brought.
You would need to be able to prove your rugby injury was the result of someone else’s negligent behaviour and that it was more than just a simple error of judgment.
Having medical statements and witnesses to back you up is also very helpful, but we can help with that.
Our sports injury solicitors know the ins and outs of making claims like these and can accept claims on a No Win No Fee basis, so there’s no risk or upfront cost to you.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 30% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
