Accident claims relating to winter sports are relatively common because of the dangerous nature of activities like skiing and snowboarding.

Recently reports revealed that, a woman who was paralysed after an accident on a skiing holiday has attempted to make an accident compensation claim. The woman, who was a personal trainer and is a Mother of two, was involved in the accident whilst driving a snowmobile.

The woman was driving a high performance snowmobile back in 2007 when she lost control and sustained serious spinal injuries. She is suing her holiday firm claiming that she was given inadequate instruction on the snowmobile.

She is now waiting for the results of her hearing
