Sports are a popular source of recreation, exercise and income for millions of Americans. However, playing sports can be highly dangerous. According to the National Center for Sports Safety, over 3.5 million children under the age of fourteen experience injuries from sporting accidents each year. Massachusetts sporting accident injuries are tragic and can result in serious injuries, particularly in young people. Contact sports such as soccer and american football carry an increased risk of severe trauma due to the greater forced involved in game play. While participating in athletic teams and Massachusetts recreational activities holds an inherent risk of injury, many of the injuries that are sustained were preventable. These avoidable injuries typically result from a negligent Massachusetts coach or ineffective or insufficient safety equipment.

Massachusetts sports injuries can range from minor to severe, and the majority of injuries include:

At the very least, the injuries listed here can cause a child to miss out on the rest of the sport’s season. In the worst cases, a serious recreational activity injury could cost an athlete his or her career, independence or even life. Severe Massachusetts sports injuries can require emergency room treatment, multiple surgeries, physical therapy, medical devices and long-term care.

When children are injured in Massachusetts sports accidents, parents often wonder if the situation could have been avoided in some way. Parents enroll their children in Massachusetts little league and other school teams expecting that they will receive the appropriate coaching that is acceptable for their age and skill level. We believe that our children will be supplied with safe areas to practice and play, and given the proper equipment necessary to keep them safe. However, this is not always the case.

Sports and recreational injuries are the cause of approximately 20% of all Massachusetts traumatic brain injuries in young people. Basketball related injuries alone cause more than 680,000 such injuries each year in the United States. It's obvious that sports injuries are a serious health concern for Massachusetts children.

Preventable sporting injuries occur for many reasons, including:

  • Broken equipment
  • Inadequate protective gear
  • Unequal matching of players based on their ability and size
  • Lack of medical equipment and safety procedures in case of an emergency
  • Insufficient Massachusetts staff instruction
  • Untrained or abusive Massachusetts coaches
  • Poorly maintained or defective Massachusetts fields, gyms or courts
  • Workouts or drills that are not well-matched to the Massachusetts athlete’s strength or ability

Parents and families have the right to trust that their children will be taught proper training techniques by their coaches. Young people should never be unmonitored during practices, scrimmages and games, to ensure their safety. Massachusetts education and recreational facilities also have an obligation to maintain Massachusetts athletic surfaces and Massachusetts playing fields free from hazards that could cause injuries. If their schools or other facilities provide safety equipment to athletes, they must make sure that it is in good condition and provides adequate protection for the activities they'll be involved in.

Under Massachusetts State law, any party that is found to be even partially responsible for a Massachusetts sports injury may be liable to the injured victim and victims family for damages. Massachusetts coaches and staff who are emotionally abusive to a team player or push the players to extreme levels in practice to the point of injury may be held liable for injuries that he or she has caused to players. A Massachusetts school may also be liable for failing to screen each coach before hiring him or her for the position. Furthermore, architects, engineers, manufacturers or vendors of defective Massachusetts athletic equipment may be liable for any injuries that their product causes.

Massachusetts sports-related injuries are the cause of nearly one-third of all injuries to Massachusetts children. The leading causes of Massachusetts sports injuries are falls, collisions, overexertion and being struck by an object. Massachusetts sports and recreation accident injuries are categorized as being either acute or chronic. An acute Massachusetts sports-related injury occurs suddenly when an individual is playing a sport. An acute injury generally involves a strained back or ankle or a fractured hand. A chronic Massachusetts sports-related injury may occur when an individual has been playing a sport over an extended period of time. With respect to chronic Massachusetts sports-related injuries, it is essential that a Massachusetts resident refrain from continuing to play a sport as soon as he or she begins to experience pain. Otherwise, there is an increased risk that the injury will be exacerbated and can lead to even greater health problems in the future.

Depending on the seriousness of the particular Massachusetts sports injury, there may be only a need for self-treatment. For a more severe injury, it may be critical that a doctor be seen immediately. Massachusetts sports medicine doctors advise that Massachusetts sports injury victims should rest, ice, compress and elevate the injury for at least 48 hours following the Massachusetts accident. It is recommended that the Massachusetts injury be iced for up to 20 minutes, between 4 and 8 times a day. The Massachusetts sports injury should be compressed by an elastic wrap, boot, air cast or splint, and should be elevated at a level above the heart to ensure that blood is continuing to flow to the injured area.

For Massachusetts sports injuries that are more serious, it is generally recommended that the individual take a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug, such as aspirin. In the worst case scenario, injured Massachusetts sports victims may need surgery to repair torn ligaments or to repair broken bones. Rehabilitation is always recommended to treat a Massachusetts sports injury, as rehabilitation entails range of motion exercises, which are critical in helping the injured area heal.

Improper or inadequate training and body weakness are the leading causes of Massachusetts sports and recreational accident injuries. In order to avoid a potential Massachusetts sports injury, it is critical that the individual train, follow the rules, protect him or herself with the necessary sports gear, rest when needed, warm-up properly and never play through pain.

Unfortunately, it is often the case that many Massachusetts sports players are injured through no fault of their own. Rather, the negligence of their coaches or teammates can lead to their injury. Compensation can be sought to recover for medical and hospital expenses, including emergency room services, physician visits and surgery, long-term rehabilitation and treatment programs, pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, loss of income, emotional trauma, loss of enjoyment of life and even Massachusetts wrongful death.

Participation in most Massachusetts sports requires that the sports member sign a Massachusetts liability waiver. The Massachusetts liability waiver may relinquish some of the individual’s rights, in exchange for the services provided. It is rare that an individual will have the opportunity to fairly and adequately read the Massachusetts waiver’s language, however, and it is not known to the average person whether the Massachusetts waiver complies with Massachusetts legal requirements. If a situation arises where the waiver fails to comply with certain Massachusetts legal requirements, or it was signed under fraudulent advertising or coercion, there is a possibility that the Massachusetts waiver will be found to be invalid under Massachusetts law. Even a valid Massachusetts liability waiver does not preempt an individual from recovering Massachusetts product liability damages in the event that a sports product results in harm, due to a defect in the product. Signing a Massachusetts liability waiver form does not necessarily prevent a Massachusetts sports injury victim from recovering damages.
