Summer camps are winding down, but it remains important to understand that if your child is/was injured at summer camp the camp may be held liable if the camp, camp leader, camp counselors were not exercising the appropriate level of caution.
There are a myriad of activities that may put your child at risk at summer camp and many of these may be considered to be inherently risky and therefore a reasonable person should be aware of the risk. However if the appropriate level of care is not taken by the adults at the camp the injuries may result in a Connecticut personal injury claim.
Some of the risky activities at camp may include;
- Swimming
- Hiking
- Rock climbing
- Any sport that a child may not otherwise participate in
- Archery
- Boating
- Trips into the wilderness
- Field trips
While this is not an exhaustive list of what types of activities could be deemed as risky, it is a list of some of the most common activities that could result in injury. When a camper is injured during one of these activities it may result in liability for the camp.
Our Connecticut personal injury attorneys can review your case and help assess whether the appropriate actions were taken by the camp to help your child avoid serious injury.
