LEGALITY OF SPORTS INJURIES

Sports become integral part of each and every one’s life. If we talk about cricket, football, tennis, etc. only then it will be injustice to the other sports activity. People belong to individual athletic events, group games and duo players are also covered under it. Injuries occurs during sports practice, training or competition are covered under insurance of personal injuries, but where there are institution which doesn’t have proper insurance scheme or trained coaches are lacking in many ways. Professional teams have their own insurance schemes that cover their team members. But what about the persons who are playing at city or district level? They only cover under the Life insurance for permanent injuries compensation laws only. Before few years, there is no such requirement as people don’t choose sports as their profession. But, looking into current scenario of India, Law should be framed for the betterment of the athletes. A parents of a kid in today’s generation wants their child to prefer at least one sport activity for the physical growth as well as mental wellbeing. Here, there is lacking of government schemes for child injury, liability of institution, personal liability of coach, etc. Here, we are lacking behind to protect our very own kids who will be athlete in future.
