Racquetball And Squash Injury Attorney

Playing racquetball or squash is supposed to be a fun way to get some exercise and enjoy a little friendly competition.

Our team includes specialized racquetball injury attorneys and squash injury attorneys who have a proven history of getting the settlements our clients deserve. Call today to request a free, no-obligation consultation with a sports-related personal injury attorney to learn more about your rights and how to secure the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Understanding Sports Injuries And Premises Liability
As a racquetball or squash player, you understand that there is an inherent risk of being hurt as you play these often demanding sports. For example, you can stretch too far and fall, try to stop too quickly and twist an ankle, or suffer an injury by getting too close to the fence or wall surrounding the playing surface. These are examples of injuries that you might expect when playing a sport or participating in a physically demanding activity.

However, injuries that occur because of a poorly maintained playing surface or some hidden damage or defect near the playing surface are not risks that a person should need to deal with. When you walk onto a racquetball or squash court, you should feel confident that the court’s surface and features are well and properly maintained. This assumption on your part is made because of the premises liability laws in California. These laws require the owner of any property to maintain the area in a safe manner.

In the case of a homeowner or store owner, premises liability covers things like maintaining safe sidewalks and not letting tree or lawn debris pile up and create a safety hazard. However, the expectations go further in a more purpose-built property like a racquetball or squash court. These court surfaces are expected to be maintained free of cracks, damage, or defects that would present a safety hazard to anyone playing on the court. The liability also includes all of the features surrounding the court, such as appropriate lighting, safe and secure walls and fencing, and proper access or gates to enter and exit the courts. In the case of outdoor surfaces, the owner must also maintain the surrounding area free of safety hazards like hidden or obscured holes or debris that could become a safety hazard.

If you are unsure if your racquetball or squash court injury was simply part of the game or due to a lack of appropriate care at the facility, the personal injury attorneys at Normandie Law Group are here to help you answer that question. We offer free consultations to discuss the details of your injury and the facility where it occurred to determine who could be at fault. If we believe you have a reason to file a lawsuit, we will gladly assist you in moving forward.

You Have The Right To Expect A Safe Racquetball Or Squash Court
It is relatively easy to determine when a court surface is damaged or worn to the point of being unsafe. However, there are other features in these court spaces that can also contribute to an injury if they are not well-maintained. And that is when it can get somewhat tricky to determine if your injury could be due to the property owner’s negligence. Some common examples of this confusing area include:

• Access doors or gates to and from the courts
• Trashcans located near the courts
• Benches or other seating
• Walls or fences that are used as boundaries to the court
• Water or debris and leaves on outdoor courts or open-air courts

When you experience an injury on a court and are unsure of the potential of another person’s liability, the racquetball injury attorneys and squash injury attorneys at Normandie Law Firm are here to help. We will work with you to ensure you understand the court owners’ legal responsibilities and how the court’s condition could have contributed to your injury. Contact the office 24/7 to request a free consultation with a personal injury attorney to discuss the details of your case and the possibility of a lawsuit to seek compensation for your injuries.

Common Injuries Sustained On A Damaged Racquetball Or Squash Court
While a misstep or awkward foot plant and turn could result in a minor sprain or strain injury, those sustained due to a damaged court surface are typically much more severe. Some of the most common injuries resulting from a poorly maintained racquetball or squash court include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Spine or spinal cord damage
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Other head injuries include skull fracture, eye damage, ear injuries, concussion, laceration, broken nose, broken teeth, or severe lacerations
• Hand and arm injuries trying to brace for a sudden and unexpected fall

These injuries can be very serious and should be evaluated by a medical professional immediately. Even if you think your injuries are minor bumps and bruises, it is better to seek medical care to ensure that you are not suffering from a severe injury that is masked by shock or adrenaline. In addition, having your injuries documented immediately after the incident by a medical professional can be very helpful when justifying your request for a settlement from the owners of the sports court property.
The Potential Value Of A Squash court Injury Or Racquetball Court Injury Lawsuit
Any reputable and trustworthy attorney will tell clients that there is no standard settlement amount to be expected when personal injuries are involved. Each case is as unique as the injuries and the person who sustained them. At Normandie Law Firm, our personal injury attorney will help you evaluate your losses due to the injury you sustained and determine a fair settlement amount to request. The value of your case will include the following:

• The amount of all medical bills related to your care for the injury
• Your lost wages as a result of the injury and inability to work
• Any future medical bills that are expected to be necessary for ongoing treatment, therapy, or rehabilitation
• The pain and suffering that you have endured as a result of the injury

How Long Will The Settlement Process Take?
Much like asking for a specific dollar figure for a settlement, the time needed to secure that settlement will also vary. However, the team at Normandie Law Firm can promise that we will work diligently to defend your rights and secure the fair compensation you deserve for your injuries and suffering. As soon as you agree to have us represent you in your lawsuit, our staff begins compiling the information needed to support your request for compensation. And we will not stop until you are paid.
