Q: I was in a amateur baseball league and was injured during a game -
do I sue the person who pitched the ball or the league itself?
A: You may not be able to sue unless you can prove it was purposely done as certain games have inherent risks in them plus you may have signed a release. I suggest you immediately see a personal injury lawyer. Most offer a free in office consultation to understand what your rights are.
A: There are inherent risks and assumed risks in playing sports. It may be quite challenging to pursue such a case. You can consult with a local attorney regarding your rights and potential courses of action.
