GOT HURT WHILE PLAYING BALL...SHOULD I SUE? PICS INSIDE

[xploziv8]

so i went to play ball at my local park district...during the middle of the game i chased down a loose ball...i didnt notice a table at the end of thecourt...the only time i noticed it was after i ran into...so i hit the side of my head on the top part of the table and cut my ear open...on the way down, ihit my mouth on the leg of the table and chipped my two front teeth...i ended up going to the ER and received 11 stitches in my ear...and tomorrow, i have togo the dentist to see what they can do about my teeth...before we could play ball though, i had to sign a waiver...but i dont think that there is anythingwritten on the waiver about a table being an obstruction on the court...so what do you guys think? should i sue the park district? after all, if the tablehad not been there, this would have never happened...due the the employee's negligence and not moving the table before allowing us to play, i sustainedthis injury...i also do not have insurance because i dont start my new job until february...so all these medical expenses and trips to the dentist is going tohave to come out of my own pocket...i feel that there is a case...but what are your opinions...any input is appreciated...thanks

here is a picture of my chipped 2 front teeth...i dont have a pic of my ear because it is wrapped with a whole lot of bandages...but i'll post when thebandages are taken off...also, this was at an indoor open gym and thats why they had us sign waivers

[ericberry14]

you do realize by signing a waiver you are saying that in the event of a accident that the company on whose property you were on is not liable for anything

[gregzzy23]

Maybe I'm missing something...why exactly did you have to sign a waiver before playing basketball?

i didnt dive for the ball...i was chasing a loose ball and so my head was down looking at the ball...if my head was up, then i would have seen the table andstopped myself and just let the ball go

You should have never signed that waiver.

daaaamn, you got owned. On the other hand, it doesnt hurt to try.

 

[sc415]

damn, yo should of never played! Now your gona be thinking what if I never ran for the ball! Lols! Na but damn!

 

[mynameaintg]

id reread the waiver...

to sue for negligence
1. there has to be duty
2. that duty has to be breached
3. proximate cause
4. injury/damages.

all 4 of those must occur or youre gonna lose the case.

 

[trapmuzik617]
