Welcome to the Tim Meakin from Toton blog. Tim Meakin is from Toton and can help you’re your compensation claims. Tim understands the impact a car accident can have on you – Tim Meakin’s priority is your complete recovery, through access to rehabilitation and by getting the compensation you deserve as quickly as possible. He will never rush you to a settlement, though, because we believe you are entitled to the maximum compensation, and because we listen to you and seek the result that is best for you.

He knows that a car crash can be a truly awful experience. Most people involved in one will have a very vivid memory of it: the noise, the sheer force of the impact, even the smell. Just because there are so many of these sorts of accidents doesn’t mean that their physical and psychological consequences are any less for you if you are involved in one. An incident like a car crash can be difficult to overcome. Whiplash injuries are very real, and can be very painful. Anxiety about future road travel can be a serious obstacle to getting back to normal life. A full recovery means more than just getting the compensation you deserve.

If there is another driver involved in your case, and their actions were so poor as to warrant police investigation, Tim Meakin Toton will seek your permission to make a direct request to the police for an investigation into the incident. A successful prosecution of a negligent driver might avoid similar incidents in the future – it might even save lives.

Did you know you don’t have to accept the solicitor appointed by your insurer? You can even change solicitors after your claim has been started – we will handle all the paperwork?

Welcome to the Tim Meakin blog. Tim is a leading barrister who specialises in Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury matters from Toton. In today’s blog, Tim shares how to choose a personal injury solicitor. If you do not have a solicitor representing you and you pursue the claim yourself how will you know legally what arguments to put forward if liability is denied or if any offer is proposed to you, how will you know if it is reasonable

“It will benefit you to choose a firm that specialises in personal injury as they will have the experience and expertise in pursuing these claims that general law firms may not have.” According to Tim Meakin from Toton.

“A good way to find out more is by searching for an accredited specialist.” advised Meakin.

You can also look on the internet and consider reviews on websites such as Google and Trustpilot. Have a look at individual profiles within a team to see what experience they have as you want to instruct someone you are comfortable with and has the relevant experience or ask the person who has recommended you what their experience was like, what did they like or dislike about the firm they had instructed to represent them.

Welcome to the Tim Meakin blog. Tim covers various aspects of sports law and he represents the interests of both sports organisations, coaches and managers from Toton. In today's blog, Tim Meakin shares how to avoid sports injuries. Let's get started!

Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not. To reduce the risk of injury:

• Wear the right gear.  Players should wear appropriate and properly fit protective equipment such as pads (neck, shoulder, elbow, chest, knee, shin), helmets, mouthpieces, face guards, protective cups, and eyewear. Young athletes should not assume that protective gear will prevent all injuries while performing more dangerous or risky activities. 
  
• Take time off. Plan to have at least 1 day off per week and at least one month off per year from training for a particular sport to allow the body to recover.
• Strengthen muscles. Conditioning exercises during practice strengthens muscles used in play.
• Increase flexibility. Stretching exercises after games or practice can increase flexibility. Stretching should also be incorporated into a daily fitness plan.
• Use the proper technique. This should be reinforced during the playing season.
• Play safe. Strict rules against headfirst sliding (baseball and softball), spearing (football), and checking (in hockey) should be enforced.
• Do not play through pain.
• Avoid heat illness by drinking plenty of fluids before, during and after exercise or play; decrease or stop practices or competitions during high heat/humidity periods; wear light clothing. Check out Tim Meakin Toton's book which offers a series of expert masterclasses reviewing current best practices in the sports injury prevention and rehabilitation field here.

Sports-Related Emotional Stress

The pressure to win can cause significant emotional stress for a child. Sadly, many coaches and parents consider winning the most important aspect of sports. Young athletes should be judged on effort, sportsmanship and hard work. The main goal should be to have fun and learn lifelong physical activity skills.

About Tim Meakin Toton

Welcome to the Tim Meakin blog. Tim Meakin is a leading barrister who specialises in Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury matters from Toton. So how does the law look at negligence in the sporting world? To succeed in an action of negligence, the victim must be able to prove three things:

• That he was owed a duty of care
• That that duty of care was breached
• The damage suffered was caused by that breach 
  

In contact sports, such as football, all participants owe a duty of care to one another. In order to show a breach of that duty, conduct must be reckless and fall below the standard required of a reasonably skillful and competent professional player. It must be an act that is more serious than an error of judgement. Thereafter, the injury suffered must be foreseeable. For example, it must be the type of injury that one would expect from a foul or tackle. Given that, the test for negligence in the sporting world is a high threshold to meet.

In order to prove a successful case for sporting injury, you must ingather as much evidence as possible to support your case. Below is a summary of some evidence that may assist your case:

• Photographic or video evidence
• Eye-witnesses
• Referee Opinion
• Expert Evidence

Welcome to the Tim Meakin blog. Sports law is an umbrella term used to describe the legal issues at work in the world of both amateur and professionals sports. Sports law overlaps substantially with labor law, contract law, antitrust law, and tort law. Issues like defamation and privacy rights are also integral aspects of sports law. The area of law was established as a separate and important entity only a few decades ago, coinciding with the rise of player- agents and increased media scrutiny of sports law topics.

Sports lawyers generally provide expertise in respect of the following issues pertaining to sports law:

• Dispute in sports
• Tors and sports
• Sports marketing and legal issues
• Sport and criminal law
