Horseback Riding Injuries
Though not as popular as sports like basketball or baseball, or as common as swimming, hiking, and biking, millions of Americans ride horses every year. While this serves as both an avenue for competition and leisure, it can also be extremely dangerous and even deadly if a horse owner or riding instructor acts negligently. A horseback rider can suffer various injuries if he or she is thrown from a horse and sustains blunt force trauma to the head, neck, or spine.
If you have lost a loved one in a horseback riding accident that you believe may have been caused by the negligence of another party, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation to help pay for the funeral and other expenses.

- You are with an expert riding instructor or have had proper training
- Always wear a riding helmet to avoid any blunt force brain trauma
- Riding gear is not damaged and is properly set
