It\u2019s natural to have many questions: Do I initiate a personal injury lawsuit? Do I ask for a settlement? How do I submit a workers compensation claim? Is it expensive to file a lawsuit? How do I file for Social Security Disability? The best way to answer these questions is to talk to us.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsc.org\/pages\/home.aspx\"> National Safety Council<\/a> released a detailed<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsc.org\/NewsDocuments\/NSC_InjuryFacts2016_Page%20154.pdf\"> report on various types of sports injury that resulted in emergency room treatment over the course of one year.<\/a>. Basketball and bicycling alone accounted for more than 1 million accidents. And many of those injuries were devastating.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/healthlibrary\/conditions\/pediatrics\/sports_injury_statistics_90,p02787\/\"> Johns Hopkins Medicine reports that sports injuries account for approximately 21 percent of all traumatic brain injuries in children.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>I was injured while participating in a sporting event &#8211; what now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you wonder if a personal injury that you, or someone you love, has experienced rises to the level of a sports injury lawsuit, consider that, overwhelmingly, almost all accidents are preventable. If you took reasonable steps to participate safely in a sport but were seriously injured, you owe it to yourself and your family to contact us to find out if you have a case. Consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Were conditions at the sports venue or facility safe and sanitary?<\/li>\n<li>Were you adequately instructed in how to use the sports equipment?<\/li>\n<li>Was the sports equipment working optimally?<\/li>\n<li>Was there adequate security and emergency personnel provided at the venue?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the injury is the result of someone else\u2019s negligence, appropriate compensation should follow. Your injuries may require specific medical treatment such as a diagnosis from a sports medicine specialist or sports medicine doctor. Physical therapy and other sports rehabilitation likely will be required, too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Could I sue for faulty sports equipment that resulted in an injury? <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Sports injury prevention is the responsibility of those who<a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/2017\/01\/27\/1500-trek-disc-bicycles-recalled-due-to-fall-hazard\/\"> manufacture sports equipment<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/2016\/08\/04\/are-trampoline-parks-safe\/\"> manage facilities<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/2016\/02\/22\/childs-foot-crushed-during-fun-run-when-banner-blew-over\/\"> sponsor events<\/a>, from fitness centers to public parks to the<a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/theathleteslawyer\/2016\/05\/20\/childs-apartment-complex-pool-drowning-results-in-settlement\/\"> swimming pool at the apartment complex<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here are just a few of the most common types of sports injury:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Head trauma, sometimes resulting in traumatic brain injury<\/li>\n<li>Low back strain<\/li>\n<li>Shoulder pain<\/li>\n<li>Ankle pain<\/li>\n<li>Knee pain<\/li>\n<li>Hip pain<\/li>\n<li>Foot pain<\/li>\n<li>Heel pain<\/li>\n<li>Hernia<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Want a few answers before you contact us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want some of your questions answered before you pick up the phone, we encourage you to explore some of our resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/faq\/\">FAQs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/what-to-expect\/\">What to expect<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/client-success\/\">Client success stories<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/landauinjurylaw.com\/verdicts-settlements\/\">Verdicts and Settlements<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>I think I have a case, so now what?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You will know if you have a viable personal injury case by the time our phone and email consultation is concluded.
