Football Accident Case Study

The Accident

In November 2020, our client was playing in a football match on a local pitch. During the game, the client went to ground to try and keep the ball in play on the halfway line, near the touchline. The client caught their knee on a drain that was hidden by grass and white lines on the football pitch itself, and as a result, had the top of their knee cap cut off by the drain.   The football pitch was council-owned, and it was their responsibility to ensure the pitch is fit for purpose and safe to play on. Therefore, our client made a claim against his local council as a result of his injury.  

Injuries

As a result of the accident, our client suffered knee lacerations that required surgery and scaring.
