Recreational Accidents

Sports and recreational pursuits are always popular activities; but as more individuals spend free time pursuing recreational and sporting activities, the risk of injury has also increased. In addition to ski accidents, any number of recreational accidents in Colorado can be the result of negligence on the part of another individual or the owner of the property where the accident took place. For example, thousands of people are injured nationwide in snowmobile and ATV accidents every year, sometimes fatally.  Unfortunately, in Colorado, we see our share of snowmobile and ATV injury and death.  Faulty equipment, improper supervision or non-adherence to accepted safety standards may also cause sports and recreational accidents. Playgrounds, golf courses, athletic facilities, fitness centers and skating rinks can all be the site of a dangerous condition or negligent practice.

Negligent maintenance of property on which sports or other recreation takes place can cause serious personal injury.   Defective sports and recreational products can also result in serious injury.  Operator error on the part of another individual as well as defective property conditions can result in injury-producing collisions with trees, wires, bridges, boats, snowmobiles, ATVs or other recreational vehicles. 

Some sports-related injuries require long-term medical care, surgery, physical therapy, or rehabilitation. In the worst cases, individuals may suffer permanent disabilities or even death.
