Given the rising number of sporting injuries today, most organizations and leagues carry sports insurance. It is not uncommon to see claims as between referees, players, and any of the aforementioned parties versus the organization. When any of these parties do not have insurance, any of them may become personally liable depending on the facts.
Recovering the necessary treatment costs are not the only area of damages that an injured party could recover as a result of another person’s negligence. There are damages for pain and suffering, past and future income loss, housekeeping, among other heads of damages depending on the facts of each case.

In Ontario, dog bites or attacks are governed by the Dog Owners’ Liability Act. The Act makes the “owner” of a dog liable for all damages resulting from a dog bite or dog attack on a person or another domestic animal. It is not necessary for the dog to bite and break the skin before an action can be commenced. If you have been injured as the result of a dog scratch, being jumped on or knocked down by a dog, or even tripping and falling as the result of an attack by a dog, the Act may apply and you may have a claim against the owner of the dog. The Dog Bites Injury Lawyers of Paciocco& Mellow can review the law with you and tell you whether or not you have a claim.
