School sports are a great activity for many children and older students, but just because they are not major league does not mean that they are safe. In fact, school accident lawyers see cases all too often in which a child was injured playing in gym class or on a school sports team. Sometimes this is simply the result of an unfortunate accident, but other times, it may be because the school was negligent in ensuring the safety of its students or maintaining the safety equipment and protective gear properly.
NYC recently announced that EMTs and certified trainers will soon be present at all schools in which there are varsity and junior varsity football teams, helping to reduce the risk of serious injuries. But football is not the only sport in which injuries can occur, and if your child has been injured playing sports in school, then it is in your best interests to contact a school accident lawyer today. Once you have given the details of your case to a lawyer during a free consultation, the lawyer can tell you if you have recourse for filing a lawsuit and whether not your child deserves compensation.
