Recreational and Sporting Wrongful Death
Outdoor activities and recreational sports are encouraged for persons of all ages but particularly for children because they foster a healthy and active lifestyle. Participating in these endeavors helps to develop a sense of commitment, achievement, and cooperation in those who remain with them.
Unfortunately, many athletic and other outdoor activities come with some degree of physical risk attached, and when there is a lapse in supervision, intentional malice, or a defective piece of safety equipment tragedy may strike. Each year many families must contend with the shocking loss of a loved one in the midst of what was supposed to be a joyful experience.
Such an event can not only inflict tremendous emotional pain, but it can also overwhelm a family financially. Medical bills, funeral expenses, and other unforeseen costs can introduce a needless additional stress to an already difficult situation. Depending upon the circumstances surrounding your loved one’s death it may be appropriate to consider filing a lawsuit.

Examples of Potential Cases
The death of a young person is stunning to the sensibilities because it cuts short an imagined future and provides a grim reminder of mortality. Moreover, it’s just “not how it’s supposed to be.” Some examples of situations that might warrant the pursuit of a wrongful death action include:
- Overly Strenuous Workouts in Unsafe Weather Conditions
- Defective or Malfunctioning Sport Rifle
- Defective or Malfunctioning All-Terrain Vehicles
- Safety Gear that is Designed or Built Defectively (helmets, protective eyewear, etc.)
