Can I sue if I'm injured playing sport in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

Unlike New Zealand, Australia doesn't have a no-fault accident scheme for sport, so you may be able to sue for negligence in some cases.

However, laws in most states limit claims for injuries from obvious risks of dangerous recreational activities.

Check whether you have sports injury insurance through your club.

A personal injury lawyer can advise on your options.
