Recreational Activities FAQs

Can I Still File a Claim If I Signed a Waiver Before Participating in a Recreational Activity?

Yes, signing a waiver doesn’t automatically prevent you from filing a claim. If your injury was caused by negligence, such as faulty equipment or lack of proper instructions, you may still have a case. Waivers can sometimes be challenged if they were not properly explained or if you were not given adequate time to review them.

What Types of Injuries Are Common in Recreational Activity Accidents?

Injuries from recreational activities can vary widely, but common injuries include broken bones, head and brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal injuries, and severe sprains. In more extreme cases, accidents can lead to long-term disability or wrongful death.

How Can a Lawyer Help If My Child Was Injured During a Recreational Activity?

If your child was injured, even if a waiver was signed, the laws surrounding liability are often more complex. A lawyer can assess the details of your case, determine whether the waiver is enforceable, and help you understand your legal rights in seeking compensation for your child’s injuries.

What Should I Do If I’m Injured During a Recreational Activity?

First, seek medical attention immediately. Document the scene of the accident, if possible, and collect information from any witnesses. If you signed a waiver, try to get a copy of it for your records. Contact a lawyer to review your case and determine whether you can pursue legal action.

What Compensation Can I Receive for a Recreational Activity Accident?

If your injury was due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and future care needs. In cases of severe injury or death, additional damages may be available to cover long-term care or funeral expenses.
