Suffered a Sports-Related Injury in New York or Rockland/Putnam Counties?
Generally, when an individual participates in a sports or recreational activity, he or she assumes any of the inherent risks involved. For example, if your child participates in school club soccer and suffers a broken wrist, he or she essentially assumed this risk. This is under the assumption of risk doctrine. However, there are cases in which an injury was due to the negligence of another party, such as negligent supervision, inadequate equipment or defective sporting gear. If you or your child suffered a sports injury, you may have a personal injury claim.
