Have You Been Injured?

Many sports injuries involve broken or fractured bones and damage to soft tissues such as ligaments and cartilages.

They can be caused by dangerous tackles (or even assaults) in team games such as football or rugby.

Injuries can also be caused by defective sports equipment, dangerous pitch conditions or negligence by coaching and medical staff.

‘Playing through the pain barrier’ for long periods can make minor injuries worse – with serious long term effects. Managers and coaches who encourage this could be negligent in their duty of care.

Other sports injuries include:

motorsports crashes – motor racing, motorcycling, karting
cycling – crashes (often involving broken collarbones), Achilles tendonitis (caused by excessive training and racing)
boxing, martial arts – serious injuries caused by illegal punches, kicks and holds.

Concussion Compensation Claims

Concussion and Post Concussion Syndrome are recognised brain injuries. They are resulting in significant compensation claims around the world.

There is increasing concern about concussion in boxing/martial arts, rugby and American football (where the NFL has settled a $1 billion compensation claim).

For Adrian Cormack, Partner and Head of the Personal Injury Department:

“I would recommend you to my colleagues, friends and family should anyone need advice and helpful service from Coles Miller Solicitors. Your service was excellent indeed.”

A pedestrian hit by a car wrote to thank Brian Parsons, Personal Injury Executive:

“I would like to express my thanks to Coles Miller and in particular yourself. I had received a letter from the driver's solicitor and I was not clear about some of the content. Believing I had no relevant insurance, I contacted Coles Miller. You suggested contacting my house and contents insurance provider. To my astonishment I did in fact have cover on this policy. Thanks again Brian for your excellent advice.”

"Thank you so much for sorting this out for me, especially so close to Christmas. I've really appreciated your support and also that of your team so much since embarking on this experience. I would most certainly recommend you and your team to anyone who finds themselves in the same predicament of a personal injury claim.

"Crispin dealt with our case and was excellent in every way throughout the whole process. From our first meeting to the end of it he kept us well informed and explained everything clearly to keep us updated throughout. He is a credit to the company and would definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future."
