How Common Are Sports Injuries?
When reviewing the Canadian Community Health Survey, it is said that two out of three injuries suffered by adolescents were correlated to sports. Among working adult from ages 20-64, sports and work also resulted in almost half of injuries (47%).
The Canadian Community Health Survey also indicated that adolescent males are injured most often and again; this was while actively participating in sports. Injuries that occurred during sports activities were mainly caused by falls. If the fall was not accidental, a lawyer can help you receive fair compensation for the sports injury endured.
Consequences of a Sports Injury
A sports injury can create a lot of turmoil in the aftermath. Physiotherapy, a massage therapist or chiropractor may all need to be involved after a sports injury is endured. Head injuries can also be sustained while being involved in sports, which may result in more serious consequences.
A lawyer can help you assess the damage of the situation and help you file a claim if legal action is needed.
