Skiing Accident in France

Published date: 29 Oct 2007

€11,432.52 recovered following ski accident in France

Our client sustained injury following a Skiing accident on 20 January 2006 in La Clusaz, France. Perfect weather and skiing conditions.

Our client was skiing on a green run when she was hit from behind by a French snowboarder who was going downhill at speed. The snowboarder realized she was going to hit our client and tried to slow down, but fell and slid across the rear of our client’s skis, causing her to spin and fall on her shoulder.

Compensation Claim for Skiing Accident

Our client was evacuated from the piste by stretcher and then taken by ambulance to local hospital. The accident was reported to the local French police. A statement had to be obtained from a French witness.

Our client sustained a dislocated right shoulder and fracture of part of the head of the humerus.

The French insurers for the snowboarder accepted liability.

We were able to recover for the client  €11,432.52. This included personal injury, medical and travel expenses, unused portion of ski pass and gardener’s costs (this is quite unusual to recover in France, but Client had an extremely large garden attached to her property and was unfit to tend it for several months).
