If you have been injured in a ski or snow board accident in Italy, you deserve to know your legal rights under Italian law. Skiing holidays are extremely popular but, as with any type of sport, participants are often at risk of suffering personal injury.

Approximately 10,000 skiers and snow boarders experience harm every year while taking part in these activities.

Those adversely affected by another person's negligence may be entitled to receive compensation through a sports injury claim. All the skiers must comply with the rules called Skier's Decalogue ("Decalogo dello sciatore").

The Skier's Decalogue was approved in Beirut in 1967 by the International Ski Federation and it is the most complete and organic set of rules on how skiers should behave on the skiing slopes.
