Were you or a loved one injured during an athletic competition? If the injury resulted from another party’s reckless actions, you may have a legal claim against them. Our Kansas City personal injury lawyer team at Foster Wallace can evaluate your case and help you pursue compensation. Determining recklessness in sports-related injuries involves considering several factors, including:
- The specific game involved
- The ages of the participants
- The intensity and competitive nature of play
- The inherent risks of the sport versus unexpected dangers
- The game’s established rules and customs
- The use—or lack—of protective gear and equipment
If you believe your injury resulted from reckless behavior beyond the normal scope of play, contact us to discuss your legal options.
Liability for Sports Injury Cases in Kansas City
To make your case after a sports injury in Missouri, you must show a basis for the defendant’s duty to act; the omission or commission by the defendant that involves recklessness; and your resulting injury from the defendant’s actions. If you were not harmed by another participant in a sporting event, you still may have a negligent or intentional tort claim against a third party, such as the sport’s sponsor.
