SPORTS & RECREATION METRICS (5 yr trailing)
SPORTS & RECREATION Overview
When people are playing sports, going to the gym, or engaging in strenuous activities, as one might imagine people can sometimes get hurt. These can expose sports complexes or gyms to significant risk no matter how careful they may be. And in the summer, the Chicagoland area is full of fairs, outdoor shows and all manner of events; but these too can be a frequent source of liability from a simple trip and fall to the collapse of entire tents or other outdoor temporary structures.
Attorneys at Costello Ginex & Wideikis have handled a myriad cases defending all manner of clients engaged in these kinds of activities. These include bowling alleys, sports complexes, gyms, massage parlors, tanning salons, and on multiple occasions organizers or providers of large fairs and outdoor events. Frankly, we understand the risks associated with running- and insuring these kinds of businesses, and we have a long history of handling these kinds of cases efficiently.
Where necessary we will take these cases to trial, where we have an excellent track record, but perhaps more importantly we try to avoid trial altogether where possible. We know many of these businesses can get these claims frequently and generally they want to resolve these cases and move on, as to the insurers. We understand, and are able to use our experience and business metrics to pinpoint a clear litigation strategy and estimated exposure for our client early on in a case’s lifespan. This helps us resolve the smaller matters quickly, and ensures that the major incidents are manageable and predictable, and we have a clear path to resolution.
