Make an accident claim for injuries sustained through golf

If you play golf on a regular basis or just happen to walk your dog past the local golf course then you may have sustained a personal injury through a golfing accident and wish to make an accident claim.

There are a range of personal injuries connected to golf. For example if you are passing by a golf course that does not have clearly marked perimeters you may be off guard and could be hit by a flying golf ball. You could even be involved in a golfing accident while playing golf and make an accident claim. A closed head injury from the impact of the golf ball could occur. You could be hit in the face and suffer a swelling, a black eye or blurred vision. If hit in the mouth you could have your teeth damaged or even knocked out and need dental reconstruction.

There was a report in March 2004 of an accident claim case where a man received £500 personal injury compensation after being hit in the eye by a golf ball while walking his dog. Accidents like this are the liability of the golf club that has not made their course safe enough for passers by and this case was a victory that meant the golf course was re-structured.

Many professional golfers also sustain personal injuries while training such as shoulder injuries and back injuries, the most common injury is known as golfer’s elbow. This is similar to tennis elbow and other injuries that involve repetitive strain to the tendons that straighten the wrist and overuse of the forearm muscles.

Golfer’s elbow especially affects the inside of the arm and can cause further damage if not allowed to heal properly. Similar personal injuries can be caused by gardening and occupational overuse such as typing. These may all be circumstances eligible for accident claims through our personal injury solicitors.
