Tackle Gone Wrong? You Could Be Eligible For Football Injury Compensation
Most of the lads who play football just play it as something to do on a Sunday morning. It's a chance to hang out with their buddies whilst getting fit and doing something they enjoy. If you win the game then that's a bonus! Unfortunately, even something as simple as a game of football can go wrong and somebody could end up being hurt.
You have to remember that when playing a non-contact game such as football, the players are still running extremely fast and if somebody was to trip on another player or piece of equipment, the consequences could be severe, that's without mentioning intentional injuries from other players on the field.
In some cases (depending on the circumstances and people involved of course), you could be eligible for football injury compensation. Take a look at some of the cases that Mulderrigs Solicitors have taken of in the past, in which they have successfully secured a substantial amount of compensation for the client.
Mr Richardson - 33 Years Old
Mr Richard suffered a painful broken leg when he suddenly became the victim of a late and high challenge from another player. He was playing in a semi-professional cup final in Southampton, UK. Luckily, the referee was there when the incident happened and the other player was sent off. Amazingly, the insurance company for the other player wouldn't accept responsibility so the case had to be taken to court. Mulderrigs managed to secure 30,000 in compensation for Mr Richardson and he is fortunately still playing football today.
Mr Waiters - 26 Years Old
Mr Waiters was recently awarded 15,000 to cover the cost of his injury and loss of earnings from work because of a football game. He suffered the injury whilst playing for an amateur team in Stafford. Mr Waiters had knocked the ball forward up the field when an opposing player turned and kicked him high on the left shin. The referee sent the other player off immediately as the ball had been "gone for a long time" and this was clearly an "off the ball incident". Mr Waiters suffered a fractured tibia and had to have manipulation and a number of procedures in order to get back on the mend.
Football injury compensation could be waiting for you if you've suffered an injury whilst playing for your team. For more information, visit the Mulderrigs website, who knows what you could be entitled to?
