A rugby player who was paralysed from the waist down after a “reckless” tackle has won her high court claim against the opposing player who made the “red mist” challenge.
In October 2017, Dani Czernuszka suffered a spinal fracture during an amateur league rugby match that has since left her having to use a wheelchair.
Czernuszka, who was 28 at the time, brought legal action against Natasha King, whom she claimed had dangerously tackled her during the game and was responsible for her injuries.
On Thursday, Mr Justice Spencer ruled in Czernuszka’s favour, finding that King was liable for the unintentional injuries she had caused.
