Many different types of law can apply in sports injury cases

Sports injuries can raise a number of legal issues. If the injury occurred on public property, such as a park or playground, municipal liability law may apply. If the injury was the result of defective gym equipment, we may file the claim under applicable products liability laws If the injury occurred because the facility failed to maintain the premises adequately, we may seek compensation for our client using theories of premises liability law.

Sporting accidents can happen in gyms, on playgrounds, and at school

Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge of all relevant laws to bring a compelling case for your sports injury. We have filed suit against gyms and sports clubs. Our clients have brought claims against high school sports programs. We have fought large manufacturers of sports equipment because of injuries caused by their products. In all of our cases, we have worked to obtain full compensation for our injured clients, seeking payment for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Failure to train, defective equipment, and poor maintenance can be the cause of sports injuries

We have filed claims for clients injured because they were not properly trained on the use of weight lifting equipment. Other clients were injured because playing fields for youth or high school sports were not properly maintained. Yet others have been injured because exercise machines and other sports equipment were defective or improperly installed.
