Sport & Recreational Activity Accidents

Compensation for Sport and Recreation Accident Victims

When an accident results in a serious personal injury or wrongful death at a school sporting event or any type of recreational activity, negligent parties should be held responsible. At the law firm of Padilla & Associates, we have more than a decade of experience that we use to find out who is responsible. We will pursue compensation if you or someone you care about has been involved in this type of accident. Our record of multimillion dollar results will assure you of our ability to succeed.

Sports Injury and Wrongful Death Cases Are Challenging

When signing up to play a sport, a participant is often required to sign a waiver. Many people believe that this prevents them from taking action. Those people are frequently wrong. In New York these waivers are often not valid and can be successfully challenged in court. These waivers will not stand in our way as we try to obtain compensation for your injuries.

Sports injury and death cases may involve dehydration because of a coach's failure to provide water while overworking a football team. They may also occur in hockey, football, lacrosse or rugby because a coach fails to identify or acknowledge a head injury and lets the injured person continue to play, only to suffer permanent brain damage from a second concussion. No matter the situation, we will help you take action to hold coaches and institutions responsible.

Amusement Park Accidents and Other Events

Personal injury and wrongful death cases are not uncommon at fairs, amusement parks and other recreational events. They may happen on roller coasters or other rides, often due to poor design, improper maintenance or negligent supervision. No matter what caused the accident, we are here to hold the negligent party responsible and get you the maximum compensation for your injury.

Claims Handled on a Contingency Basis

We handle all recreational activity and sports injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that you pay attorney fees only if we are successful in getting you compensation.
