(@DarrellL)](https://listium.com/@DarrellL) 254 views · 0 likes · 0 followers Published 3 September 2022 · Updated 3 September 2022 Category: law, govt & politics Have you been injured in a sporting accident despite taking adequate measures to protect yourself? You might be able to file a sports injury claim if one of these factors is present. ## Items ### 1. [Presence of Premises Liability](https://listium.com/@DarrellL/74191/what-makes-a-sports-injury-claim-valid/0/presence-of-premises-liability) Item ID: `0` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/dvg1moc8imtwbfyelf6d.jpg) - Notes: It’s a common belief that having signed a liability waiver absolves a sports facility or gym from any obligation if someone gets injured. But you can still file a sports injury claim if the facility owner has been blatantly negligent. For instance, inadequate lighting, ice, failure to post signs when the floor is slippery, and other safety hazards that are unrelated to the sports itself can still hold that facility owner accountable. ### 2. [Negligence on the Coach or Instructor’s Side](https://listium.com/@DarrellL/74191/what-makes-a-sports-injury-claim-valid/1/negligence-on-the-coach-or-instructors-side) Item ID: `1` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/duiauxlwhwkflajjk1ri.jpg) - Notes: Coaches are directly responsible for the well-being of their athletes, from providing safety equipment to instructing the athletes and their parents on the risks involved in their respective sports. Coaches should also know how to provide some first aid solutions and act quickly in emergencies. Athletes might be able to sue their coaches if they fail to fulfill their duties and responsibilities. ### 3. [Injury Sustained by Defective Gears and Equipment](https://listium.com/@DarrellL/74191/what-makes-a-sports-injury-claim-valid/2/injury-sustained-by-defective-gears-and-equipment) Item ID: `2` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/t3v8j6cj3vcnbpooe8ct.jpg) - Notes: > While most sports and recreational activities carry inherent risks, you could still file a sports injury claim if the injury resulted from using defective equipment. For example, if a bicycle, trampoline, or ski malfunctioned and led to your sporting accident, you can sue the manufacturer. The same goes for protective gear. Manufacturers of helmets, mouth guards, pads, and straps could be held liable if their products failed to protect the athlete. > > Unfortunately, some injuries could be seriously debilitating and could alter the athlete’s life forever.
