Sports Injuries Inherent Risk or Negligence?
Sports and exercise related injuries account for over a third of injuries suffered by Canadians and two-thirds of injuries among children aged 12 to 19.[1] Athletes must accept certain causes of injuries as risks inherent to their sport. However, absent a valid waiver stating the contrary, athletes will have a cause of action against another player, organizer or manufacturer who is negligent.
