I broke my arm during a skiing lesson and am now on disability, do I have a case?
Question Details:
I broke my arm badly during a skiing lesson. I lost my balance and fell. Trainers did not allow us to use ski poles. I am now on disability and my husband is home taking card of me. If I have a case, what are the chances of winning? How long will the process take?
Personal Injury Law Answers
In California there is something called the doctrine of primary assumption of risk, which basically means if you were injured while engaging in a hazardous activity in a manner consistent with that activity, you have no case as a matter of law. There is an exception for instructors who increase the risk of harm.
It appears to me that by not using ski poles, your instructors increased the risk harm to you and you may have a case.
