Injuries are inevitable when it comes to contact sports like football or hockey. However, some injuries are more serious than others. If an injury is caused by negligence, you have the legal right to file a personal injury claim to receive compensation.
Here are several instances when a person’s negligence can play a part in a sports injury:
- Not providing players with adequate breaks.
- Ignoring signs of injury and having players participate anyway.
- Using poorly maintained equipment.
- Ignoring proper safety procedures.
Sports injuries vary from broken bones and bruises to concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The more severe injuries on this spectrum are often accompanied by high medical bills and rehabilitation, putting financial strain on a family. Filing a personal injury claim can help you or your family receive compensation to pay for these expenses.
