To avoid an accident compensation claim being made, when organising school sporting events in the gym, the teachers should ensure the area is clear from obstructions and therefore offer a safe environment for the class to participate.

One one occasion the class were playing basketball and left lying around on the side were some benches that were stacked up incorrectly causing a hazard. This always leaves the potential for a sport accident claim. One of the pupils playing basket ball was keeping his eye on the game, and going for the ball when he got nudged into the benches.

The benches caused a severe cut and leg injury to the pupil as they collapsed on to him. The pupil needed to go to hospital for stitches to the wound. The pupil also suffered ligament and tendon damage. The sport accident was recorded in the college accident book.

The pupil decided he wanted to make an injury compensation claim and contacted us. We put him in contact with a specialist No Win No Fee Injury solicitor.
