SPORTS INJURY COMPENSATION

Sports Injuries

Playing sport is a highly enjoyable recreational activity but it can sometimes lead to serious physical damage which can be grounds for a sports injury compensation claim. These injuries have a number of different causes, not all of which are related to the actions of fellow players including:

• deliberate or exceptionally negligent foul play
• inadequate or misleading instructions or training
• assault occurring before, during or after play
• poorly maintained playing surfaces, pitches, courts or equipment

Sports Injury Compensation Claim for Violent Conduct

Sports violence is a particularly troublesome cause of sports-related injuries. The term refers to deliberately harmful behaviour intended to inflict pain or injury. These are actions not taken in order to pursue the objective of the game. Football, hockey and rugby are three sports most often associated with sports violence. However, this type of overly aggressive behaviour can occur in any sport. The injured player may be able to bring a successful sports injury compensation claim if the injury was a result of another player contravening the rules of the game. Victims can take action in a sports injury compensation claim in the Civil Courts and in addition the victim can apply to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for compensation.

Aggressive Behaviour

Aggressive behaviour that occurs while playing sports typically falls into one of two categories:

1. Instrumental aggression which refers to incidents that are directly related to the game. These are not emotionally charged acts of aggression, but rather are the result of vigorous competition. The so called ‘professional foul’ may fall into this category and these incidents may give rise to a successful sports injury compensation claim.
2. Reactive aggression encompasses actions deliberately taken in order to cause harm to another player. Unlike instrumental aggression, acts of reactive aggression do contain an emotional component. This is behaviour that is triggered by a loss of temper or a desire to seek retribution on another player. The result is an act of violence perpetrated with the intent of injuring the victim which clearly can give rise to a sports injury compensation claim.
