The International Ski Federation has
established ten rules of conduct for skiers and snowboarders to
follow when on the slopes. Although not binding, they should be
followed, and may provide evidence of negligence if breached.
what type of skiing accident can I claim
for?
-
If another skier or snowboarder injures you, there may be a
claim.
-
If you receive tuition from a ski school, and the instructor
does not give adequate tuition, or takes you off-piste resulting in
an accident, you may have a claim against the ski school or the
instructor.
-
If a ski lift is not properly maintained, and as a result you
sustain injury, you may have a claim against the ski resort or lift
owner.
-
If you are injured as a result of faulty ski equipment that you
have hired, you may have a claim against the person you hired the
equipment from.

booked. In a surprisingly large number of cases we are able to
bring the claim in England or Wales. Call us for a free assessment
as to where your claim can be brought.
Blake Lapthorn solicitors will consider the possible locations
for your claim, bearing in mind where to obtain the best ski

of different countries.
