Swimming Injury Compensation Claim

A swimming injury compensation claim can originate from when you are participating in watersports activities at school or, when you are older, at home or on a holiday, and when somebody else is to blame for causing your injury. Accidents do happen around water – some tragically – and when you or a loved one have sustained an injury due to somebody else´s negligence, you are entitled to make a swimming injury compensation claim.

Swimming injuries could be caused by faulty equipment, poor hygiene, a lack of training and supervision or maybe due to a trip or slip by the side of a swimming pool. Typically, swimming injury compensation could be awarded for fractures from falls, infections from unclean water or severe muscle cramps and repetitive strain injuries from too much swimming – or swimming when unfit and just having eaten.

Irrespective of the type of swimming injury you have sustained, your first concern should be that of your health. You should always seek medical attention when you have been injured in an accident and worry about a swimming injury compensation claim once any immediate threat to your health has been resolved. Your medical notes will form part of your successful swimming injury claim, so it is doubly important that you see a doctor as soon as possible.

Making a Swimming Injury Compensation Claim

It is always in your best interests to use the services of an experienced personal injury claims solicitor when making a claim for swimming injury compensation. Your solicitor will be able to assist you with the application to the Injuries Board Ireland to ensure that it is comprehensively completed and that you have claimed for all the special damages you are entitled to.

A solicitor will also be able to represent you in court litigation should the negligent party deny their responsibility for your injuries or claim that you contributed to it by your own actions – instances which will cause the Injuries Board Ireland to decline your application for swimming injury compensation.

You might also find that your swimming injury claim is settled in court if either you or the negligent party dispute the assessment of the Injuries Board Ireland and, as with any injury compensation involving children, may have to be approved by the court before it can be paid.
