When we leave our 9-to-5 world to relax, refresh our spirits, stretch our wings, and have some fun; our last expectation is that our recreation will end in an accident. Each of us reading the word 'recreation' may visualize a very different activity. Some of us crave a peaceful and relaxing time. Others want adrenaline-spiking, action-filled activities. Recreational activities include bicycling, team sports, water activities, snow activities, amusements parks, hiking, climbing, and others. All these activities contain a risk of injury. The accidents associated with these activities are sometimes caused by the actions or the inaction of others.
Some Activities and Instances of Accidental Injury
Amusement parks: In the case of injuries at an amusement park, the cause may have been equipment improperly maintained, causing an accident. Badly designed equipment, also, creates a dangerous condition. Concession stand food has even been at fault for illness. Ramps, stairways, and walkways not well-built or maintained, can cause slips and falls. Additionally, improperly trained or supervised personnel create dangers. In these cases, while you or your loved-one were injured, the amusement park may be responsible.
Skiing and other snow activities: Ski resorts and winter sports parks are full of active winter fun, but are responsible for providing an environment with as little danger as possible. The resort or park personnel are responsible for upkeep of trails and signage. Ski lifts and other equipment, like rental skis and snowboards, must be maintained. The resort is at fault, if these expectations are not met and accidents occur.
Water sports: As in other recreation areas, those focused on water activities must post signs and have alert, trained personnel. There is a responsibility to ensure that recreational equipment is maintained. Educating and properly training guests in equipment's use is an important role of the resort or park personnel. Unsafe design or lack of training contributes to accidents, injuries, or even death.
Bicycle riding: Many people are choosing healthy life-styles, including recreational activities. For many, those choices include bicycling. Trail-riding and riding on the road with automobiles each have their own dangers. Since 2003, bicycle fatalities have risen every year in the United States. Bicyclists are very vulnerable in motor vehicle accidents. Drivers, who are not distracted enough to miss seeing another car, may miss seeing a bicycle. That driver may be liable for the bicyclist's injuries.
We are living in a time when new equipment and new opportunities for recreation seem to appear every week. Bungie-jumping, ziplines, feeding sharks, base-jumping, indoor parachuting, and even human hamster balls are possibilities for unique fun-filled adventures. New opportunities for fun are, also, new possibilities for injury.
The often-changing laws about recreational accidents are complicated. If you or a loved one have been injured, you need an experienced and knowledgeable team to review your case. It is important to us that you are informed and confident. Together we will discover the liability of others for your injuries. We will investigate whether there was negligence, whether there was liability. We will work to see that you receive the compensation you deserve for your loss of income, for your pain, and for your medical expenses.
