Recreational Accident Lawsuits
Many children have been injured in recreational and/or sports accidents. I handle recreational accident cases that involve:
- School bus accidents
- Boating accidents
- Swimming pool accidents, including a negligent life guard, inadequate supervision, defective drain and diving accidents
- Playground accidents involving old or defective swing sets, swing set parts or other equipment
- Lack of supervision at sporting or recreational events
- Defective sporting equipment
- Weight lifting injury matters involving defective weight lifting equipment and/or defective weights
- Wrongful death
Assumption of Risk
This is a defense I see a lot, especially in recreational sports injury cases. The law states that if you were playing or watching the game, you knew that there was a risk, so the company or school is not liable. When you take your child to soccer practice, you are not "consenting" to him being tackled in the middle of a game because the coach was not paying attention. I even handled a case where a motocross spectator was injured at an event when a motorcycle landed on him when he was seated ten rows up.
Every sports injury case is unique. I know how to vary my strategy in order to get my clients the settlement or award that they need.
