Note: Like every person, each case is unique. Prior case results should not create expectations of an outcome in any individual case.
A recreational injury case is a type of personal injury lawsuit. These cases require in-depth industry expertise, and often present serious legal challenges. For decades, we have represented clients who have been seriously injured or killed by the negligence of facility and activity operators, and landowners. We have impacted and enforced laws that make enjoyable activities safe.
Types of Recreational Injuries
Recreational activities like swimming, skiing, sports, and diving are supposed to be fun. They are also supposed to be reasonably safe.
Unfortunately, many facilities and activity operators cut corners when it comes to safety even when the risk of injury or death is severe. Fences around pools are not constructed according to code. Scuba diving and river tours are not supervised under industry standards. Warnings signs are not posted. Safety equipment is inadequate or not provided.
