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.
