Some Recreational Injuries
Skiing Accidents
Over the years, the law related to skiing injuries has undergone a significant transformation. Ski resorts are finding it more difficult to base their entire defense on the argument that skiing is inherently dangerous. Now, proving that a ski resort or fellow skier was negligent is relatively common.
A typical skiing related lawsuit can be based on a variety of elements, including:
- Downhill accidents
- Collisions
- Lift problems
- Poorly located signs
- Slope maintenance
- Ski instruction
- Ski patrol
If you become injured while skiing, do not assume that you signed your rights away by virtue of your choice of recreation. You may be able to pursue a legal claim for your injuries. You should consult an experienced skiing accident attorney and schedule a free, confidential consultation to discuss the merits of your claim.
Snowmobiles and ATV accidents
Each year, thousands of people are injured in snowmobile and ATV accidents. Most fatal injuries involving snowmobiles are caused by collisions with trees, wires, bridges, and other snowmobiles. Other deaths occurred when snowmobiles or ATVs rolled over, pinned victims, or entered water falling through ice.
The majority of individuals who ride these vehicles, or purchase them for their children, are not fully aware of the inherent risks associated with the use of these vehicles, and are certainly not familiar with the sophisticated safety principles that are involved in properly designing and using these products. As a result, the user has a false sense of security, believing that the use of a helmet, for example, will prevent any and all possible injuries from occurring. In addition, most users do not receive adequate training on the use and operation of these vehicles. An accident involving a snowmobile or ATV may involve a defective products claim as well as an accident injury claims. Contacting an ATV collisions lawyer experienced in these unique cases can help you determine the right course of legal action.
Swimming and Diving Injuries
Each year over 1,000 children die in swimming related accidents and over 5,000 others are hospitalized nationwide. Swimming related accidents are the second leading cause of death of children under 14 years of age. Swimming pools and swimming have additional dangers that arise from a variety of circumstances:
- Improperly designed and constructed pools
- Failure to properly secure a pool from small children
- Failure to maintain the swimming pool in good condition
- Dangerous or defective diving boards or maintenance equipment
- Inadequate water depth, or a failure to warn about the water depth
- Failure to monitor (no lifeguard or negligent lifeguard)
Owners of swimming pools have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for children and adults. If you feel that you or a loved one has suffered an injury as the result of someone's negligence in relation to a swimming pool, you may have grounds to bring a personal injury claim.
If you, or your child, are suffering from a recreational injury involving skiing, snowmobiling, ATV riding, or swimming, contact a personal injury attorney experienced in these areas.
