COMMON SPORTS INJURIES

Different types of sports lead to different sports injuries, but some injuries are commonly seen across many different areas.

Some of the most common sports injuries include:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sports-related incidents make up for about 10% of all traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, in the U.S. These and other catastrophic injuries can have devastating effects on victims and their loved ones, often leading to immense physical, emotional, and financial challenges.

WHO IS LIABLE FOR A SPORTS INJURY?

While some sports injuries are truly the result of unpreventable accidents, many can be avoided with the proper care and precaution. When an athlete’s wellbeing isn’t regarded as a priority, physical injuries are likely to increase. Some sports injuries can be considered acts of negligent or reckless behavior by coaches, organizations, staff members, or even other players.

When an injury does occur, it is likely to worsen without proper treatment and rest. Returning to play before being fully healed can cause permanent damage, and the long-term effects of playing while injured are rarely explained to athletes. Colleges, universities, and coaches will often pressure an athlete to return to play by threatening the forfeiture of scholarships, their spot on the team, or future careers at the professional level.

Sports administrators are required to hold each player’s safety as one of their primary concerns and provide proper, well-maintained equipment. When careless acts or intentional disregard for the safety of others instigates a sports-related injury, there may be grounds for legal action against the responsible person or party.

At Potts Law Firm, our sports accident and injury lawyers can help you determine who is responsible for your or your loved one’s injury. We know how to navigate these complex claims and are ready to provide the aggressive legal representation you and your family deserve.
