INJURY ON A BASEBALL FIELD
Recently, I read an article in one of the Sunrise local newspapers and found it to be a good idea for a blog entry. The article covered spectator injuries that can occur while watching sport games at local parks.
Mr. Sanchez, an enthusiastic dad, was waiting for his son to complete a batting practice session at a park in Sunrise, when he was hit in the eye with a stray ball while he stood at an open gate near a fence surrounding the baseball field. Paramedics were called to the park and he was taken to the hospital for the eye injury and was admitted for observation. He was eventually released, and was planning on filing a claim against the City for the damages, medical bills and loss of wages that he incurred from this injury.
In the State of Florida, if you are injured at any recreational park in any of the various cities, in order to be able to file a claim against local authorities or a city entity, paramedics have to be called out and the injured person has to be taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
There is always risk to be taken into consideration when attending sporting activities and one should always seek legal counsel from an experienced personal injury attorney to ensure that you know your rights and the responsibility of the public parks or recreation centers.
