Recreation and Sports Injuries

in Recreation and Sports Injuries
Recreation and sports injury cases can arise out of casual recreational activities or formal organized sports programs. Representing clients who have claims related to recreation and sports injuries requires an understanding of the legal obligations of private individuals, schools, recreation departments, sports officials and sports associations for the safety of participants as well as appreciation of the limitations of their liability under various laws intended to limit liability such as the Charitable Immunity Act. Javerbaum Wurgaft Hicks Kahn Wikstrom & Sinins attorneys have developed an in-depth understanding of the issues that arise in recreation and sports injuries cases and have a strong track record in handling these types of claims.

DEFENDANT VERDICT/SETTLEMENT
THOMAS Ken Javerbaum obtained a $400,000 settlement for a client who suffered severe foot injuries when he was struck by the propeller of a pleasure boat.
THE BOARDS OF EDUCATION OF WEST ORANGE AND EAST ORANGE, TOMPKINS AND SICA (UMPIRES) Jack Wurgaft obtained a $2.6 million settlement on behalf of a high school baseball player who was struck by lightning while playing center field in a high school basseball game against West Orange. The proceeds will be in a “Special Needs Trust” for the boy, who since 1999 has been in a vegetative state. The plaintiff alleged that the defendants had the duty of supervising and controlling the game, which included making decisions regarding the postponement or termination of the game in the event of certain weather conditions, such as imminent electrical storms.
