Sports medicine malpractice is a type of medical malpractice that occurs when a doctor who specializes in athlete treatment and rehabilitation fails to perform with the expected professional standard of care, resulting in injuries and damages.
These may include:
Athletes are tough, and they engage in extreme activities that put enormous strain on their bodies. There are decades of research and specialized protocols for treating and rehabilitating sports-related injuries. The Sports Medicine market was valued at 6.1 billion dollars in 2022, and many doctors specialize in treating and restoring the performance of injured athletes, for a premium price.
But when these doctors make mistakes, it could result in the worsening of an injury, which could lead to more downtime and longer recovery. Professional athletes are paid and expected to perform at their best for their teams and respective sports. When they are unable to train, they stand to lose a lot of money.
But even worse is when medical treatment leads to permanent injuries that render athletes unable to play at all. Professional sports is a lucrative career that is enjoyed only by a select few. Losing this due to sports medicine malpractice is devastating, to say the least.
If you were a victim of sports medicine malpractice, you may be entitled to financial compensation for the following:
The defense may argue that your injuries were a logical result of intense athletic activity. But our experienced personal injury lawyers work with board-certified medical experts who can examine your medical records and test results. They’ll see if your injuries could have been prevented and testify on your behalf if your sports medicine physician’s negligence was the cause of your losses.
Your health is your number one asset as an athlete. Whether you’re in the professional league, or a young prospect looking to get scouted by recruiters from big colleges to start your career, you must be in top shape at all times. Having your ability to play taken away from you by a sports doctor’s negligence is devastating.
But while there may not be enough money in the world to fix shattered dreams, The Porter Law Group can help you get the financial compensation you deserve to recover and try again or start to move on with your life.
