All levels of sport carry risk of injury. However, there is a certain degree of risk that is consented to in all sports. This does not mean, however, that unnecessary is permissible. There are situations where injury could have been prevented. Where a preventable injury has occurred due to negligence or by conduct not permitted within the rules of the game, you might be able to claim compensation.

Let's Talk

In the Republic of Ireland, popular sports such as Rugby, GAA and Soccer all carry a risk of injury when played within the rules of the game.

However, when someone gets injured as a result of behaviour that is not within the rules, such as a punch to the face causing a broken jaw, this falls outside the implied consent given by players and may give rise to a claim for compensation.
