Skiing is a thrilling and adrenaline-fuelled sport that’s loved around the world. However, it’s also one of the more hazardous sports, whether you’re a seasoned skier or a beginner.
Tragically, skiing and winter sports accidents are all too common. Some can be very serious and even fatal. If you’ve been injured in a skiing accident that wasn’t your fault, our solicitors could help you to make a claim for compensation.
We’ve helped people claim compensation after a wide range of skiing injuries, from broken bones to serious head or spinal injuries with life-changing consequences. Some of the most common causes of accidents include:
- Improper training from an instructor
- Faulty or inappropriate equipment, such as hire skis or boots
- Faulty or unsafely operated machinery, such as ski lifts
- Collisions with out-of-control skiers or snowboarders.
Whether you’ve been injured because of one of the above or another circumstance, get in touch with us today to arrange a free initial consultation.
