Sports Injury
If your child participates in a school sport, you expect that the facilities, equipment, and rules will protect them from reasonable harm. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Many under budgeted sports teams will use obsolete or defective equipment, which may put your child at risk for incurring injuries.
If you or someone you know has a child that has been injured while playing a school sport, it may be the fault of a negligent coach or director.
