Are You Eligible To Make A Personal Injury Claim?
You are entitled to make a claim for compensation if you have suffered injuries because of someone else’s negligence. However, provisions of the Civil Liability Act 2002 provide that if you are injured during the undertaking of a dangerous recreational activity, even if the injury arose as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may not be able to prosecute a claim. However, if you can establish to the satisfaction of the court that you were injured because of that person’s negligence, and not by reason of your engagement in the dangerous recreational activity, then you may be entitled to claim damages.
