Every now and then there is a high profile personal injury claim in the press and we always take a healthy interest in them. This is because we are very interested in personal injury claims, accident claims and compensation law and we like to keep on top of things so that we can offer our clients the very best.
The past couple of weeks have seen a personal injury claim in the news made by former Premiership footballer, Dean Ashton. He is making a personal injury claim against the FA following an injury which happened in 2006 during a tackle in an England training session and ultimately caused the end of his footballing career.
Ashton has decided to make the claim because the injury he sustained in the tackle didn’t end his career until three years later in 2009, because he attempted to regain his fitness for three years after being injured. The fact that the injury occurred more than two years ago has meant that his personal insurance policy is void.
We’re going to be keeping our eyes out for news of how his claim goes. Don’t forget that should you have a personal injury to claim for, we can help.
