Table of Contents

Athletic competition and recreational exercise are a part of everyday life for many, from youth leagues to adult fitness centers. Unfortunately, not every game or practice ends safely. When negligence or unsafe conditions cause harm, injured players have the right to seek financial compensation.

A Boca Raton sports injury lawyer from Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia may guide you through the process of holding the responsible party accountable. Our seasoned personal injury attorneys understand the medical, emotional, and financial challenges that follow a serious sports accident. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you owe nothing unless we win your case.

Types of Sports Injuries That Lead to Claims

Sports injuries can range from minor sprains to catastrophic trauma. Some result from inherent sports risks, while others occur because of negligence, such as defective equipment, unsafe fields, or poor supervision. Common sports-related injuries that we often see include:

A sports injury attorney may help identify every responsible party in Boca Raton and pursue compensation for your injuries.

Recoverable Damages in a Sports Injury Case

Under state law, you may pursue compensation when another party’s negligence caused you harm, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for future care needs. If an injury forces you to miss work, you may be eligible for recovery of lost income and any reduction in your future ability to earn. You could also seek compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress it has caused, in addition to the loss of enjoyment you experience due to your inability to engage in your favorite activities.

Under Florida Statute § 768.81, the law divides fault among the involved parties, meaning you could still recover damages if you were less than 50 percent responsible for the incident. Our Boca Raton attorneys who are experienced with athletic injury cases calculate the full value of your claim to ensure your recovery reflects both your immediate and long-term needs.

What Steps Should You Take After a Sports Injury?

Your actions immediately after a sports-related accident could significantly affect your claim. Following these steps may help protect your health and strengthen your case:

  • Get medical attention right away
  • Report the incident to the facility, coach, or organization in writing
  • Gather evidence, including photographs of the scene, equipment, and your injuries
  • Collect witness information from teammates, spectators, or staff
  • Avoid discussing the case with insurance adjusters or posting on social media
  • Consult an attorney before signing any documents or settlement offers

We could investigate the cause of your sports injury, secure medical records, and communicate with insurers on your behalf. We handle every aspect of your injury claim so you can focus on recovery.

Hear what real clients have to say

As a former member of the US military, specifically special operations, I have been battling the VA for almost 14 years to obtain a 100% rating. Chris Stratton and Melissa Medina were able to get me 100% on the first go around, as my representatives. All I had to do was set the appointment and attend the exam, and they did the rest. I would definitely recommend there dedicated services to our armed forces! Thanks again

I had a hard time writing this review. There is so much I wanted to say. But at the end it comes down to a great attorney Heather Harley. She is what you want and need dealing with the VA.. Attorneys, there are many but few with the compassion and knowledge she has. After many years of not getting anywhere with the VA. she has gotten me to a satisfying outcome. If you are in need of a excellent attorney I recommend Heather Hartley. Once again thank you.

I was very lucky to find the help I needed at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia. With the great team of Attorney David Batista, his Paralegal Alyssa Stephens, and assistants Yorman Gascon, Juliana Garcia, and Daniela Mantilla! they were able to get me a settlement that was retroactive. Even though I was not really looking for payment just a better rating in this case I received both. I could not be happier with this outstanding team - they truly understand the rights and fight for the compensation that all veterans deserve.
