Sporting Event Injuries
This week, a woman who works for the Dallas Cowboys filed a personal injury lawsuit over the 2009 collapse of one of the team's practice facilities. Apparently, the woman suffered injuries when the building collapsed during a wind storm in May 2009. The collapse of the practice facility also caused serious injuries to many other Cowboys personnel. One person was even paralyzed from the waist down due to the incident.
Even spectators can be injured at sporting events. Imagine attending a hockey game and being injured by the puck. Or think about the chances of going to a baseball game and being hit by a foul ball. One study found that this happens at a rate of about 35 injuries per million spectator visits. Injuries can happen at any type of sporting event, but research has shown that they are most common at baseball and hockey games.
