Sports Related Injuries

Sports injuries may occur during games, as well as practice and training sessions. Sports injuries are particularly devastating to children, who are still growing and developing. Millions of children are involved in some type of organized sport, such as baseball, basketball, football, hockey or soccer.

 

The type and severity of an organized sports accident depends on many factors, and may be attributed to lack of supervision, faulty or defective equipment, improper training by the coach, other players, and poor quality playing area. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has stated that approximately four million children require emergency room care as the result of various sports injuries annually.

 

Injuries that are the result of an organized sport may require hospitalization and various types of expensive treatments, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation, surgeries, mobility devices, medications, and other costly treatments.
