Cliff Diving Accident Statistics and Safety Tips
Cliff diving is a thrill seeker’s dream; the rush of falling into the water from a high cliff attracts thousands of people to the sport every year. Many people dive without any consequences but cliff diving is an extremely dangerous sport that requires planning and caution. Every time someone dives, they are risking a serious injury or even death.
If you or loved one was seriously injured in a cliff diving accident because of the negligence of another, contact an experienced cliff diving accident lawyer as soon as you are able. A cliff diving injury attorney can discuss your legal rights and may be able to help you recover damages on your behalf.
Can I sue the city for a cliff diving accident?
While a person can sue a city for certain kinds of accidents if the city’s negligence caused the accident and injuries, injury cases against the government are often more complicated than similar cases against private individuals. Negligence claims against a city are more difficult than a claim against a private individual because many states have laws that grant immunity to cities and the city’s employees for some negligent actions.
If the city knowingly left a part of a walking or hiking trail with a dangerous cliff unmarked and/or unprotected and a person falls and injures themselves then there may be a personal injury case. Contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal rights.
