Legal Representation After a Sports-related Brain Injury in Atlanta

While football has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to the head injury issue, it is not the only sport or recreational activity in which children and adults can suffer traumatic damage. Unfortunately, in many cases, it is not uncommon for these injuries to occur because of negligence on the part of those responsible for the players’ safety, such as teachers, coaches, colleges, and professional sports organizations.

If you or a loved one has suffered a brain injury while participating in a sport or other recreational activity, it is important that you understand that even supposedly minor head trauma can have serious, long-term effects. In the event that your Atlanta sports-related injury is the result of negligence, you may be entitled to take legal action against the at-fault party.

Causes of Preventable Sports-Related Injuries

Many sports can be rough or violent even when players follow the rules of the game; however, there are still plenty of precautions that people must take to prevent serious injuries, whether at the professional sports level or in children’s leagues. Unfortunately, so many preventable sports-related head injuries occur as a result of the following:

  • Abusive or untrained coaches
  • Inadequate or faulty protective gear
  • Disregarding warning signs or symptoms
  • Failing to have qualified medical professional on hand
  • Keeping a player in the game despite a blow to the head

If negligence or poor decisions caused or exacerbated a sports-related injury, contact an Atlanta sports-related head injury attorney as soon as possible to determine whether you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
