Comparative Negligence In Sports

Working in a sports related field requires some legal background when dealing with other individuals as it relates to injuries. Even though injuries may occur, sometimes they are minor but at times they are major injuries and one may feel the need to field suit. The purpose of this assignment is to understand and evaluate negligence and challenges that may affect interscholastic sports. This assignment assist of ten discussion question with a range of negligence challenges in today’s sports. I will address each question throughout this assignment.
