Common Skiing Injuries
Skiing and snowboarding can result in a range of injuries, from breaks and fractures to more serious head injuries and spinal injuries. Injuries to the joints including elbow and knee injuries are particularly common.
Can I Make a Skiing Accident Claim?
Sometimes, accidents occur that involve a single skier or snowboarder and could not have been prevented by anyone else. For instance, a skier may land badly after a jump, accidentally fall over or collide with a tree.
In these cases, an individual is usually able to claim for their injury and any medical expenses through their travel insurer (provided they are on holiday at the time).
However, some injuries are caused by the negligence of someone else. This is known as a non-fault accident and in these cases, individuals may be able to bring a personal injury claim against the negligent party.
Common third parties in skiing and snowboarding accident claims include:
Ski instructors who have provided improper training
Another skier
Tour operators who have failed in their duty of care to keep you safe on holiday
A piste authority
Communication was open and I knew what was happening every step of the way.
If you have suffered an accident or injury while skiing or snowboarding you may be able to make a compensation claim. Some skiing and snowboarding accidents can result in serious injuries that may prevent you from working or require extensive treatment or physiotherapy. A successful compensation claim can help to alleviate the financial stress associated with an injury. In addition, it will compensate you for your pain and suffering.
