What is a Skiing Injury?

A skiing injury is any kind of injury which occurs at a ski slope or dry slope. These injuries can be extremely serious, often involving broken bones which can take weeks or even months to property heal. In some circumstances, these injuries can also cause long-term or even permanent disabilities. The severity of these injuries entirely depends on the circumstances of the incident. As such, these injuries can cover almost any kind of damage, from fractures to head trauma and mild bruising to soft tissue damage.

Both novice and experienced skiers are vulnerable to these injuries. In some ways, the more experienced you are, the more at-risk you are of suffering a serious injury. If you are a competent skier, you are more likely to try more difficult slopes. As such, you will be putting yourself at much greater risk. If you do suffer an injury due to someone else’s negligence, it is much more serious than stumbling on a minor slope.

Here at Tylers Solicitors, we can provide a complete range of no-win, no-fee legal services to help you get the compensation you are entitled to. Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience when it comes to dealing with all kinds of injuries. We will help you to understand if you are eligible to make a personal injury compensation claim against the operator of a ski slope or another skier.

How Much Compensation Could I Get for My Skiing Injury?

As with any kind of personal injury claim for a sports injury, the amount of compensation you will receive depends on the severity of your injuries. You’ll be able to make a claim for the level of pain and suffering that you’ve been forced to undergo. In addition to the actual pain and suffering you had to experience as a result of the injury, you will be able to claim for a range of different features too, including:

• The Presence of Long-Term, Or Permanent, Physical Disabilities and Conditions.
• Any Psychological Damages You Might Have Suffered. This Can Include Anxiety and Depression.
• Loss of Wages, or Loss of Potential Wages.
• The Injured (Or Deceased) Person’s Role in Your Household.
• Level of Negligence Displayed to Cause the Injury.

Compensation Amounts for a Skiing Injury

Type of Skiing Injury	Description	Amount of Compensation
Pain and Suffering	Whenever you suffer any kind of sports injury, pain and suffering is always a concern. In many cases, this pain and suffering can be negligible and amount to nothing more than a few bruises. However, it is possible for these injuries to result in long-term, chronic pain. This can cause a great deal of suffering for many years, or even permanently.	£1,000 to £200,000
Minor to Serious Head Injuries (Including Brain Damage)	Some of the most dangerous kinds of injuries you can suffer as a result of a skiing incident are head injuries. It is even possible for these incidents to cause brain damage, which can lead to serious learning disabilities, amnesia and worse.	£11,650 to £307,000.
Minor to Serious Ankle and Leg Injuries	Ankle and lower leg injuries are commonly caused by sporting incidents, including skiing accidents. Skis can prevent your feet and lower legs from moving as they should. This can cause them to become twisted, trapped or break as they are held in an unnatural position.  These injuries can cause both short and long-term health conditions.	£1,475 to £74,000.
Minor to Serious Shoulder, Neck and Back Injuries	Whether you land awkwardly or impact against a solid surface, shoulder, neck and back injuries are surprisingly common. These injuries are normally minor and constitute little more than a few aches and pains. However, in some cases, they can cause long-term or even permanent health conditions. Suffering from chronic pain and reduced mobility are common issues.	£6,000 to £122,350.

What are the Common Causes of a Skiing Injury?

Most ski injuries are caused by being unable to control oneself while skiing. However, there are many other causes, including:

• Lack of Training or Health and Safety Information.
• Poorly-Maintained or Faulty Equipment.
• Failure to Care for the Slope.
• Overcrowding of the Slope.

Can Accidents Happen on a Dry Ski Slope?

Accidents are just as common on dry ski slopes as they are on snow slopes. These locations can be even more dangerous. This is due to the gridded nature of the slope’s design (which can trap skis) and the abrasive slope material.

What are the Most Common Kinds of Skiing Injury?

Broken bones and fractures are common on both dry and wet slopes. Losing control of your skies, or being hit by another skier, are also common causes of these skiing injuries.

Can a Skiing Injury Ever Result in a Wrongful Death?

It is possible for a skiing injury to result in a wrongful death. This can be instantaneous or over time. These injuries can cause internal bleeding and other health concerns which can lead to a wrongful death.

How Common are Skiing Accidents?

Skiing accidents are fairly common however they will rarely cause a serious injury. Broken limbs are fairly common, but the breaks are normally clean and can be repaired in a few weeks. Of the 51,000,000 annual skiers, there are only 54 fatalities.

Who Will Be to Blame for My Skiing Injury?

The person responsible for your skiing injury will depend on the circumstances of the incident. Most cases of skiing injury will be the skiers fault. However, if you can prove that you were treated negligently, you will be able to claim compensation.

Do I Need Training Before Going Skiing?
