SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL INJURY LITIGATION

With the background of David A. Clinton firmly rooted in college and professional sports, the firm has long enjoyed an expertise in recreational sports liability that is unparelleled. An inevitable hazard of sporting events is the possibility of injury. Participants in or spectators at sporting events may sue their fellow players, coaches and trainers, or the sponsoring institution for faulty equipment, improper conditions, or negligent failure to supervise. Many of our clients are self-insured or have large self-insured retentions and have, therefore, developed a close relationship with the firm. This relationship has given rise to the firm's active participation in the client's risk management, safety protocol and procedures, signage, and general operations.

Through our representation of clients such as professional sports teams, health and fitness clubs, churches, carnivals, family fun centers, amusement parks, schools, equestrian centers and rodeos, circuses, and nonprofit associations, Clinton & Clinton has acquired special expertise in some of the unique issues which arise in this area. The firm has enjoyed considerable success in handling sports related torts cases, including law and motion practice, trials, and appellate work.
