CLAIMS AGAINST SPORTS CLUBS

Abuse can occur in all aspects of sport from grass root to high level competitive sports. Often an abuser uses their control and authority in order to control a child and grooms them, providing false promises of threats of deselection.

Bringing a Civil Claim

We appreciate that is is not easy to make contact and discuss your experiences. We are happy to discuss your potential claim on a non-committal basis and provide you with the opportunity to meet in person to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Limitation

The law says that you have three years from the date of an incident to bring your claim, or three years from your 18th birthday if you were a child when it occurred. However, even if you are out of time, you may still be able to bring a claim for abuse.

We have extensive expertise in properly addressing limitation and ensuring that individuals obtain the justice that they seek.

Funding

If most cases we can offer you a No Win, No Fee Agreement. This means that you will not have to pay us unless we are successful in your claim. If we are successful in your claim you will need to pay us a success fee which is capped at no more than 25% of your compensation. 

If your claim is unsuccessful, we simply do not get paid.
