Thread: Cricket accident & loss of eye

Hi folks

I am from the UK but looking for some advice if anyone can help.

My boyf was playing cricket at his local club and was struck in the right eye by a cricket ball with full force in May07. The impact shatered his orbit, nasal wall and his eye fell inside and to one side. 3 reconstructive and muscular surgeries later, double vision, pain etc and the medical conclusion is that he will have to wear a lens which will make him blind in that eye because the images just can't be fixed.

I am trying to assess here if we have a valid claim. I have some points of negligence as follows:

Defendant

For my 2 cents, i would say that the club is more or less liable, the individual is liable as well since he hit the ball. You can google 'sporting accidents eye cricket] to get hold of a few other cases. Yes, you may have to consult an attorney regarding this and frankly, from my point of view, especially if the facts listed above are accurate, then the club is liable. Hope tht helps. Sorry about your son,

Its a bad news about your son sorry for him well ill suggest you a company if you concern with this hope you will get advantage.

you should concern with some attorney. They would be able to give the better advise according to your facts & conditions.Hope through some legal assistance you would be able to get advantages.

Wow that sounds awful, i feel so bad for your poor son. You just never know from day to day what could happen next, and the sad thing is you have absolutely no control over it. I hope things end up working out for the better.

Hello !!

Its really very bad news for you and can understand what you were feeling .According to me you should consult to the attorney because they can only give you the solution as it might possible that the terms and condition of the club don't accept for this kind of issues.

Thanks
