You may have read recently about a woman who is
suing her self-defence school for £40,000 as hamstring 'ripped from bone' by 'aggressive' trainer.
The case hinges on whether or not the injury of the kind and severity suffered is not one that would occur if reasonable care and skill were applied.
As an Expert Witness I have been involved in other personal injury cases.
In once case the claimants claim for damages went up to £400,000.
In another case a delegate who was injured in a self-defence class sued her local authority for an injury sustained on a self-defence class.
The class was run by a company brought on by the local authority who then tried to sue the self-defence training company for losses occured do to the injury caused during the training course they ran on their behalf.
In all cases the outcome hinged on what documentary evidence the defendants (the person or company being sued) can provide to show that they have taken as much reasonable care as possible in reducing any risk to its lowest possible standard.
If you can't do that, then you are possibly very likely to lose.
These documents can help you reduce that risk to you!
