What makes a sports injury case worth pursing?
A: With the weather getting nice, everybody is turning their attention to the outside. Playing a sport involves assuming certain risks of the sport. If you play tennis, you may get hit by the ball off of your opponent's racquet. If you play baseball, you may get beaned by a pitch. These are assumed risks. If there is a latent defect on the premises where you are playing a sport, you have not assumed that risk. In my research, I've found that the successful cases involving sports injuries have a defect in the premises. For example, a recent bike racer inquired about an injury received when a protective barrier was left unlatched causing a piece of metal to impale his arm when he crashed into it. He would've been better off without the crash barrier since it enhanced his injury over and above what he would have suffered from had there been no barrier.
Another area of success is with children and you have mismatches. For example a 100 pound kid being told to wrestle a 180 pounder would be a mismatch that could cause a catastrophe.
If you have any sports injury, please call for an analysis. I play sports, I know sports, I watch sports. I've handled many of these cases sucessfully.
