Trampoline accident injury compensation may be available if you or your child were injured because a trampoline park operator failed to manage foreseeable safety risks. Claims can arise where faulty equipment, poor supervision or overcrowded sessions led to a preventable accident. If eligible, compensation could cover your injuries, the emotional impact of the accident and associated financial losses. Our solicitors can investigate what happened and explain whether you could pursue trampoline accident injury compensation on a No Win No Fee basis.
A serious trampoline accident can leave you or your child facing more than the initial injury. Treatment, rehabilitation and time away from work or school can quickly disrupt everyday life. You may also be left wondering whether poor supervision or inadequate safety procedures could have prevented the accident. Understanding your legal options early can provide reassurance while you focus on recovery.
At Accident Claims, our trusted legal specialists have decades of combined experience and have secured over £100 million in compensation for those injured in accidents. Our solicitors investigate how the trampoline park was operated, including supervision levels, maintenance procedures and safety records, before assessing whether those failings contributed to your injuries.
If you believe you or your child were injured because a trampoline park failed to manage safety properly, contact Accident Claims for a free consultation, and we’ll explain your legal options clearly, answer your questions and advise whether you could pursue trampoline accident injury compensation:
4.8Yes, you can claim if you or your child were injured on a trampoline, provided the accident happened because someone responsible for safety failed to take reasonable steps to prevent it. This could include situations where poor supervision, faulty equipment or other avoidable safety failures caused the accident.
To pursue trampoline accident injury compensation, we will assess whether your case meets the following eligibility requirements:
When you or your child visits a trampoline park, you should be able to use the facilities safely. Trampoline park operators have a legal duty to take steps to protect the reasonable safety of visitors by following health and safety regulations, maintaining trampolines and safety equipment, and managing sessions safely.
Next, we will assess whether this duty was breached. For example, a trampoline park accident could happen because damaged equipment remained in use, too many people were allowed onto the same court, or staff failed to enforce important safety rules during a session. If these or other avoidable safety failures caused the accident, you or your child could have grounds to claim compensation.
Finally, you or your child must have suffered an injury because of the accident, such as a head, neck or spinal injury. You could also claim if you suffered a psychological injury due to the accident.
Yes, you could still be eligible to claim even if you signed a waiver before entering a trampoline park. Many trampoline parks ask visitors, including parents signing for their children, to accept certain risks associated with trampolining. However, a waiver does not automatically prevent you from making a trampoline injury claim if the trampoline accident was caused by avoidable safety failures.
Under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, businesses cannot exclude or restrict liability for death or personal injury caused by their own unsafe actions.
Yes, you can claim on behalf of your child if they were injured in a trampoline accident. A parent, guardian or another suitable adult can act as a litigation friend, making decisions in your child’s best interests and managing the claims process until they turn 18.
A litigation friend works with our solicitors and makes decisions on your child’s behalf throughout the claim. If compensation is awarded while your child is under 18, the court will usually ensure it is protected until they reach adulthood.
If you’re unsure whether you or your child could claim, contact Accident Claims for a free consultation. Our solicitors can assess what happened and explain whether you could pursue trampoline accident injury compensation on a No Win No Fee basis.
Yes, you can claim as an injured trampoline park employee if your injuries were caused by your employer failing to take reasonable steps to keep you safe at work. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA), employers have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees while they are at work.
If your employer failed to meet those responsibilities and you were injured as a result, you could be eligible to make an accident at work claim.
If your employer failed to provide suitable training, safe equipment or adequate staffing levels, we can assess whether those failings give rise to a claim.
If you or your child suffered a trampoline injury, the person or organisation in charge of the trampolines may be the one responsible for keeping the premises and trampoline activities reasonably safe. Below, we explore in more depth who could be responsible:
If you or your child were injured at an indoor trampoline park, the operator may be responsible if equipment was not properly maintained or sessions were not managed safely.
If the accident happened during a school or nursery activity, the school may be responsible where trampoline activities were not supervised or managed appropriately.
If the injury occurred at a leisure centre or sports club, the facility may be liable if the trampoline facilities were not maintained or activities were conducted unsafely.
If the accident happened on private property, the owner may be responsible if they allowed visitors to use an unsafe trampoline or failed to address a known hazard.
Our specialist solicitors can help determine who may be responsible for your trampoline accident and whether you could have grounds to claim.
The types of trampoline accidents that could lead to a compensation claim are those caused by avoidable safety failures, such as faulty equipment, poor supervision, or unsafe premises.
Below are some of the most common circumstances that lead to trampoline accident claims:
No matter how your trampoline accident happened, our specialist solicitors can explain whether you could be eligible to claim compensation today.
A trampoline accident can cause a wide range of injuries, from relatively minor soft tissue damage to life-changing trauma.
Common trampoline injuries include:
Serious trampoline injuries often require ongoing physiotherapy or rehabilitation, both of which we can take into account when valuing a claim.
Evidence that could help support a trampoline injury claim includes medical records, photographs of the accident scene, and witness details.
Further evidence that we could help gather to support your trampoline accident injury compensation claim includes:
Missing some of this evidence doesn’t necessarily prevent you from claiming. For more information on what evidence is needed for your claim, please get in touch today.
How much compensation you or your child could receive following a trampoline accident will depend on the severity of the injuries, the impact they have on everyday life and any financial losses resulting from the accident. Our solicitors assess medical evidence and consider how your injuries have affected your ability to work, study and carry out everyday activities.
Successful trampoline accident claims usually include two types of compensation. General damages compensate for the physical and psychological effects of the injuries, while special damages compensate for associated financial losses, as explained in the next section.
When valuing general damages, our solicitors may refer to the Judicial College Guidelines (JCG), which provide guideline compensation brackets for different injuries.
The table below contains guideline compensation figures taken from the JCG. These figures are intended as guidance only, and the first entry has not been taken from the JCG.
| Injury | Severity | Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple Severe Injuries + Special Damages | Very Severe - various very serious injuries and associated special damages, such as medical expenses, professional care costs or rehabilitation expenses | Up to £1,000,000+ |
| Paralysis | Tetraplegia (also known as Quadriplegia) - the injured person will have experienced an affect on their senses or ability to communicate | £428,850 to £533,720 |
| Paraplegia - the amount awarded will depend on the degree of independence, the age and life expectancy of the injured person and the extent of depression | £289,420 to £375,540 | |
| Brain/Head | Very Severe - cases at the top of the bracket may have some ability to follow basic commands, but there will be little if any evidence of meaningful response to their environment | £372,570 to £533,720 |
| Moderately Severe - cases include those who are very seriously disabled, with a substantial dependence on others and a need for constant care | £289,420 to £372,570 | |
| Back | Severe (i) - spinal cord damage, or nerve root damage causing severe pain and disability | £120,340 to £212,670 |
| Neck | Severe (iii) - injuries such as fractures, dislocations or severe damage to the soft tissues which lead to chronic conditions and significant disability | £60,080 to £73,970 |
| Leg | Severe (iv) Moderate - complex or a number of fractures generally to a single limb | £36,680 to £51,790 |
| Shoulder | Serious - dislocations of the shoulder with damage to the lower brachial plexus | £16,870 to £25,370 |
| Arm | Simple Fractures of the Forearm | £8,730 to £25,370 |
Yes, you can claim back financial losses and expenses following a trampoline accident where they are directly linked to your injuries. These financial losses are compensated under special damages.
Examples of special damages include:
Keeping receipts, appointment records, and evidence of time away from work can make it much easier for us to demonstrate these losses if you decide to claim.
4.8You make a trampoline accident compensation claim by gathering evidence about how the accident happened, assessing whether avoidable safety failures contributed to your injuries and pursuing compensation from the responsible party. Our solicitors manage each stage of this process while you focus on your recovery or supporting your child’s recovery. In-depth steps include:
Every trampoline accident is different. Our solicitors can explain what evidence is available, request records where appropriate and guide you through each stage of the claims process while you focus on your recovery.
The time limit to claim compensation for a trampoline injury is 3 years, as set out by the Limitation Act 1980 . However, the rules differ depending on whether you are claiming for yourself or on behalf of your child.
If you are claiming for your own trampoline injury, you will generally have 3 years from the date the accident happened to begin your claim.
However, for those lacking the required mental capacity, the limitation period is suspended, and a litigation friend can claim on their behalf.
If your child was injured in a trampoline accident, you can begin a claim on their behalf at any time before they turn 18 by acting as their litigation friend. If no claim is made during childhood, they will have three years from their 18th birthday to start a claim themselves, giving them until they turn 21 to begin legal proceedings.
Starting the process early can make it easier to obtain evidence such as CCTV footage and witness details before they become unavailable. Contact us today to get your claim started.
