Client story: Helping Rebecca make a winter sports holiday claim

When Rebecca sustained significant orthopaedic and psychological injury as a result of a collision on a piste, we were able to guide her through the litigation process which had to be conducted in the county where the accident occurred.

Skiing accident claims FAQs

If you’ve been injured while skiing abroad due to someone else’s negligence, such as a poorly maintained slope, faulty rental equipment, or another skier acting recklessly, you may be entitled to compensation. Our team can assess your case and guide you through the process to help you get the support you need.

If you’ve had a skiing accident, there are a few steps you can take to strengthen your claim. Report the accident to ski patrol or resort staff, seek medical attention and keep records of any treatment, take photos of the scene and any hazards, and collect contact details from any witnesses.

It’s also worth checking your travel insurance policy to see if you’re covered. Even if you couldn’t do all of this at the time, we can still help build your case.

Time limits vary depending on where your accident happened, but in many cases, you have up to three years to make a claim.

However, some countries have shorter deadlines, so it’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

The amount depends on factors like the severity of your injury, medical costs, loss of earnings, and the overall impact on your life.

We’ll work to secure compensation that covers medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, and any additional costs caused by your injury.
