DANGEROUS RECREATION ACTIVITIES

If you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence then, generally speaking, you are entitled to bring a claim for damages for the injuries which you have sustained.

However, provisions of the Civil Liability Act provide that if you are injured during the undertaking of a dangerous recreational activity, even if same arises as a result of someone’s negligence, then you may be precluded from the bringing of a claim.

If you can establish to the satisfaction of the court that you were not injured in the engagement of a dangerous recreation activity but rather same arises as a result of negligence of the party which you hold be responsible for your injury then you are entitled to recover damages.
