| Hundreds of players are
badly injured every year by dangerous foul play or unsafe playing
facilities. Careers are ruined and thousands of pounds lost in wages,
yet very few players claim compensation.
When you play football you accept the
risks of things like an accidental clash of heads. But you don't
accept the risks that someone might throw a punch or kick you when the
ball isn't there or that the facilities being used are unsafe.
This isn't an opportunity to join
Britain's compensation culture but it is important to be aware that if
you are badly injured by dangerous foul play or dangerous
facilities, help is available. |
