If I get injured in a sporting event, can I file a personal injury claim?
Well, like anything related to the law, the answer is going to depend on the details. But it is possible to file and win a personal injury claim after being injured in an event or competition. You should contact a sports injury lawyer to discuss your case. Even if the event’s organizers made you sign a waiver — which is standard practice these days — that doesn’t automatically remove all your rights, nor does it make them immune from repercussions for any and all injuries you suffer.
There are many scenarios where you might have a strong personal injury claim even if you signed a waiver. One example is when the people in charge of the event or recreational activity may have breached their duty of care towards the injured person. But again, it all depends on the details, so you should discuss your case with an attorney.
