Salt Lake City Organized Sport Injury Attorney

Apart from doing everything you can to address and adequately heal from injuries, speaking with an attorney is the most important thing you can do. When you receive a case review from an experienced organized sports lawyer, you will get a better understanding of where you stand from a legal standpoint. Whether you are dealing with a smaller injury such as a pulled muscle, abrasion, cuts, to large injuries such as head trauma or broken bones, it is highly suggested that you speak with an attorney.

Below are some everyday situations where players are injured, and a legal claim may take place.

• An overeager player intentionally or accidentally uses more than necessary force, resulting in a broken arm or leg, for example, being aggressively tackled during a friendly game of touch football.
• Coaches can be held accountable for situations that include but are not limited to failing to remove an injured player, assaulting a player, or encouraging behavior that breaks the rules and shows a disregard for other players’ safety.
• Schools and recreational facilities can be held accountable in the same vein, for example, showing a consistent disregard for broken rules that result in an accident, providing faulty equipment, or failing to contact medical care providers in a timely fashion should an injury arise.
