Reckless Behavior in Sports Injury Claims

Determining recklessness in sports-related injuries involves considering several factors, including:

  • The specific game involved
  • The ages of the participants
  • The intensity and competitive nature of play
  • The inherent risks of the sport versus unexpected dangers
  • The game’s established rules and customs
  • The use—or lack—of protective gear and equipment

If you believe your sports injury in Kansas City resulted from reckless behavior beyond the normal scope of play, contact our attorneys to discuss your legal options.

Liability for Sports Injury Cases

To make your case after a sports injury in Missouri, you must show a basis for the defendant’s duty to act; the omission or commission by the defendant that involves recklessness; and your resulting injury from the defendant’s actions. If you were not harmed by another participant in a sporting event, you still may have a negligent or intentional tort claim against a third party, such as the sport’s sponsor.

Our lawyers can evaluate the facts, determine who may be legally responsible, and pursue the compensation you deserve after a sports injury in Kansas City.
