Circumstances
In November 2020, our client was playing in a football match on a local pitch. During the game, the client went to the ground to try and keep the ball in play on the halfway line, near the touchline. The client caught their knee on a drain that was hidden by grass and white lines on the football pitch itself, and as a result, had the top of their knee cap cut off by the drain.
The football pitch was council-owned, and as such, it was the council’s responsibility to ensure the pitch was fit for purpose and safe to play on. Therefore, our client made a claim against the local council for the injury.
Injuries
As a result of the accident, our client suffered knee lacerations that required surgery and scaring.
