Horse Riding Injury Claim Experts
HORSE RIDING ACCIDENTS
Have you or your child suffered an injury following a Horse riding Accident?
If you or someone you care for has been injured during due to a Horse Riding Accident then an injury compensation claim should be possible.
The injury itself will itself is likely to cause pain and suffering to the injured person, but there can also be a range of additional consequences and other forms of financial loss involved when an accident happens. It may be the case that your horse has also suffered an injury or worse and vet bills can be very expensive too.
Our specialist Horse Riding Accident Solicitors can help you with everything, from claiming for your personal injury and your losses, such as loss of earnings and veterinary expenses to arranging private medical treatment and rehabilitation to assist in your recovery and get your life back on track.
Pursuing compensation for your accident is not something you have to do on your own, you need specialist advice. Trust us to help you.
My case was handled in a courteous and professional manner from beginning to end. I was kept informed throughout and the settlement obtained was very satisfactory.
Thank you PSR Solicitors for the professional way you have dealt with my claim you have made the whole process as stress free as possible.
(I am) extremely happy, couldn't think of a better (firm) to handle my claim. I am very happy and I would like to thank you extensively. Service from all the staff was excellent.
They were very helpful, better value, and dealt with my claim within 7 months. After a 4 and a half years issue with my previous solicitors.
Quality and professional service. My claim was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
A personal injury claim can be made by anyone injured in an accident involving a horse under the Animals Act 1971, which is very clear about the liability of horse owners and riding instructors when such incidents occur.
Accidents on the roads are the most common cause of injury for horse riders. Horses and cars can mix safely but there are times when a horse can become spooked and act out of character thereby causing an accident or where other road users do not give a horse enough space and can collide with the horse knocking the rider off and causing them an injury. Being exposed without protection and falling from a height can be enough to cause an injury, never mind if the rider actually collides with the vehicle.
Remember to always wear a riding hat. James Hooker, 18, was riding a family horse near Swansea when he fell by accident and hit the ménage fence causing him a personal injury.
Following the fall, the horse then kicked James in the head causing him a further serious injury. Fortunately, James's hat took the impact of the kick, splitting it down one side. James suffered a chipped eye socket, chipped right shoulder blade and a nasty laceration to his cheek. James's mother explained "the doctor in A&E said he would have been killed outright if he'd not been wearing a hat”.
Fortunately, James is now back at home and feeling better.
PSR Solicitors urge all riders to always wear a riding hat to protect themselves as even with personal protection it is possible to suffer a personal injury, which is better than a fatal accident.
It is estimated that around 3 million people across the UK participate in horse riding. It is a popular sport but it is not without its risks, as the 3,000 people who are injured each year will tell you. Half of these accidents happen on the country’s roads and injuries can often be severe including brain injuries, spinal injuries and in some cases fatalities. Our experienced solicitors can help you with a wide range of horse riding accident claims such as:
Our helpful guide to horse riding compensation claims can help you get an initial understanding of what your claim might be worth.
Your questions answered
If you have been injured in a horse riding accident in the past three years due to the fault or negligence of someone else then you are able to make a compensation claim as recompense for the pain, inconvenience and financial damage caused.
The amount of compensation awarded will be dependent on the severity of your injuries and the extent of any medical care and rehabilitation you will need. The court will look at how your injury is likely to affect your ability to work and will consider your loss of earnings both now and in the future.
Although it cannot change the pain and harm caused, your compensation claim is designed to recognise what you have been through and will cover:
Claiming compensation for any injury can feel daunting and overwhelming but we will manage and coordinate everything for you.
After an initial, no-obligation chat, we will advise you on how likely you are to have a successful claim and how much you can expect to receive.
We will need as much information from you as possible to assist with a successful claim including:
We understand that detailing the extent of your injuries, the pain you are experiencing and how your day-to-day life has been effected by what has happened may be extremely difficult for you but we will go at your own pace and will never make you feel rushed or under pressure. We can come and speak to you at home or in hospital, if your injuries make it difficult or impossible to travel to one of our offices and we can, in some circumstances, take your initial instruction over the phone so that we can act as quickly as possible to access the care and treatment you need.
Horse riding accidents that result in serious personal injury is a particularly difficult and complicated area of the law as there many different circumstances in which such accidents can occur and many different defences are available to those who are potentially liable.
The fact that horse riding is seen as a high-risk sport is often used as a defence by some who claim that riders consent to the potential dangers before taking part. To effectively counter this argument you will need the expertise of a dedicated personal injury solicitor, who has significant experience and specialism in this area.
Bronwen Lloyd-Roberts is an experienced horse rider having started riding at the age of 3. Bronwen’s mother was a keen cross country rider and was eager for Bronwen to follow in her footsteps from a young age. Bronwen now owns 3 horses and is now introducing her own daughter into the sport. This experience as a rider and horse owner enables Bronwen to successfully conclude claims involving horses.
Bronwen has obtained compensation for claimants that have been injured by horses (kicking and biting incidents), been injured as a result of a fall during a riding lesson, and injured as a result of accidents on the road.
Many law firms now operate a call-centre style arrangement with teams of untrained fee earners handling claims. This means that you won’t know who is recovering your compensation, will have no personal contact with a qualified solicitor, and could find that your claim is significantly reduced or lost altogether. After everything you have already been through, you deserve the best legal team fighting your corner and at PSR Solicitors we understand just how vital receiving the full amount of compensation is to your recovery and your financial security.

Conveyancing Solicitor
I joined PSR Solicitors in January 2014.
Having graduated from Keele University with a degree in Law and Criminology, I then completed my legal practice course, with distinction, at the College of Law in Chester. I became a qualified Solicitor in a large regional firm in the East Midlands before moving back home to North Wales.
I have now worked in litigation for over 10 years and specialise in many types of personal injury matters but has particular expertise in employer’s liability and occupier’s liability claims.
I'm currently acting for a whole range of clients with high value and complex personal injury claims. I have in-depth expertise in claims involving complex brain injuries, amputation injuries, and those involving life-changing orthopaedic injuries.
I have a particular interest in pursuing claims for cyclists as I'm a keen cyclist myself with specialist knowledge and training in this area.
I regularly represent clients in Court and although I act for clients right across the UK, in the last 10 years I've built a strong profile and reputation in the Wrexham area. I now head up the Wrexham office for PSR Solicitors.
Outside of work, i take part in triathlons, love horseriding and spending time with my young daughter.

Paul Rossiter
Managing Director
Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Rhyl Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Ellesmere Port Office, Wallasey Office
I am the Managing Director of PSR Solicitors. After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 in Shotton, Deeside with this aim. Since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
