Sports Accidents and Litigation

Sports accidents occur during sports or exercise and affect both professional athletes and people trying to improve their health through physical activity. Some accidents involve active participants; others involve bystanders. Skiers and snowboarders are involved in about 7,500 collisions annually; even a baseball may strike a fan during a professional game. Sports accidents can cause injuries ranging from a temporary sprain to fatal head trauma. The injury could be permanent. The late actor Christopher Reeve's accident during an equestrian event left him paralyzed below the neck. Sports accident litigation focuses on areas such as fault. A skier could be responsible for injury to another. Liability could extend to coaches, medical professionals who treat injuries, sports insurance providers and owners of businesses such as golf courses.
