Personal Injury Cases in Sports and Recreactional Activities

Injuries are a part of athletic competition and recreational activities. A certain degree of "risk" is inherent in most of these activities. However, avoidable, unnecessary risks can be injected into sporting events and training activities through negligent planning, poorly maintained facilities, careless supervision and dangerous equipment. When avoidable, unnecessary injuries result from these actions or conditions, legal action may be appropriate. Very often, these cases require the accident victim's attorney to consult with experts in the field of sports and recreation safety. Dan O'Brien has put together a short, interesting DVD with Richard Borkowski, the nation's foremost expert in the field of sports and recreation safety. Dan and Dick discuss some of the common safety lapses that lead to avoidable injuries, and they discuss some of the fascinating and sometimes tragic cases they've each been involved with over the years -- sometimes on the opposite sides of the case from one another!
