Unsportsmanlike Conduct Resulting in Serious Injuries
The thrill of competition can lead a serious and life-changing injury. While many assume that it's all part of the game, malice and gross negligence may have played a role in the injury. You need experience at your side to get to the facts of complex cases involving team sports. That is the level of advocacy our attorneys provide at Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP.

Holding the Negligent Accountable Beyond School Punishments
Negligence in school sports or club sports is often mistaken for recklessness or unsportsmanlike conduct. The act of “taking out” another player as some form of retaliation or one-upmanship will cause the offending competitor to be suspended or kicked off a team. However, the punishment does not have to stop there.
Getting to the Facts. Asking the Tough Questions.
At Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, we represent injured football, soccer, basketball and baseball players at the high school and college level. We ask the tough questions about the actions of an overly aggressive player. What was the intent? Was the act that caused the injury inherent during a normal competition? Even more troubling, did the coach coerce a player to injure an opponent?
Team sports injury cases are complex and hard to prove, including those that involve cheerleading and gymnastics. Our job is to get to the facts of the case. We interview participants and witnesses to find out what happened. We also work with experts in the industry to help establish your claim and demonstrate the extent of your injury.
