If you or a loved one have been injured while riding a horse, the impact on your health and well-being can range from the minor to sustaining injuries that can have a devastating impact on a person's life.
Obviously ensuring the physical and mental well-being of the injured person is the main priority immediately following such an accident, but whether injuries are minor or very severe, at some point thoughts must turn to seeking compensation for any pain and suffering caused as well as to ensure long-term care packages can be designed and implemented when needed.
If the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to seek compensation. Our expert lawyers at PSR have assisted many people in achieving high horse accident settlement values after being injured:
Although there are always risks when dealing with horses, you have a right to be kept safe by those responsible for your wellbeing. This could be educational instructors, stable owners, or other road users.

I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
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 and 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 and Ibiza.
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.

Each claim differs from one to another, it is, therefore, very difficult to categorise how much money the claimant could receive in compensation at the very start of the process. There are several influencing factors to be taken into account when our specialised solicitors work to determine the amount of compensation that should be awarded.
The main factor which must be considered as a result of the accident is the severity of the injuries sustained, but other factors will be:
Calculating the compensation amount for a horse accident is not always a straightforward process. The predominant question surrounding 'general' damages is always based on the severity of your injuries and the impact this has or may have on your every day and future life.
As with all settlements for accidents that were not your fault, the process should not be rushed in any way. All circumstances must be taken into account by our expert solicitors who specialise in horse riding accidents. Only then will we be able to value the claimant’s case accurately and specifically.
Talk to our specialist horse riding injury solicitors about your situation today.
On some occasions, and more so for claimants who have fallen from a horse and sustained head, brain or spinal injuries, it is crucial to give the injured person time to recover in order to assess the injury fully before the settlement value for a horse accident is calculated. We can then aim to finalise the compensation settlement value from the third party for your injury. Interim compensation payments can also be arranged to ensure a degree of financial security is in place where required.
The figures shown in the table provide provisional 'general' damages compensation values as set out in the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG). General damages are meant to compensate for general pain & suffering caused by the injuries sustained by the horse rider.
Whether you have sustained an injury while riding a horse or If your injuries were caused by a horse that has escaped from its paddock or stable you should seek advice from specialist solicitors, and find out if you’re eligible for a settlement for your horse accident. There is a time limit of three years for a personal injury claim to be made from the date of the accident, so it is vital you assess your situation at your earliest convenience.
You can contact a member of PSR Solicitors directly to start the process, or for advice and information regarding a horse riding accident. If you or a loved one has been affected in a horse riding accident and has suffered a serious injury because of this, you will more than likely be eligible to claim compensation.
Our specialised expertise in these cases means you can be sure of excellent legal advice and support, and because we work on a ”No Win No Fee” basis, in most situations, we will be able to support your claim for compensation in this way. Whatever your accident situation is, PSR Solicitors aim to make the process as simple as possible, supporting you in every step of the way.
