Primary vs. Secondary Assumption of Risk: A Crucial Distinction
The concept of assumption of risk is crucial in personal injury cases, as it refers to an individual’s acknowledgment and acceptance of the potential risks involved in a particular activity. However, it is important to distinguish between primary and secondary assumption of risk, as these have varying implications for personal injury claims.
Primary Assumption of Risk
Primary assumption of risk generally applies to cases involving inherently risky activities or recreational sports. In these situations, participants are deemed to have consented to the known risks associated with the activity. Key points to consider include:
Participants’ voluntary engagement in the activity, fully realizing and accepting the inherent risks.
Assessment of the participants’ behavior and actions to determine whether they were aware of, and willingly exposed themselves to, the risks associated with the activity.
The impact of primary assumption of risk on personal injury claims, particularly in cases where the injured party knowingly participated in a potentially hazardous activity.
Our expert attorneys are well-versed in handling cases involving primary assumption of risk, leveraging their in-depth knowledge to build comprehensive legal strategies and secure favorable outcomes for our clients.
Secondary Assumption of Risk
On the other hand, secondary assumption of risk comes into play when an individual voluntarily encounters a risk created by the defendant’s negligence. While the injured party is aware of the risk, they still have the right to expect that the defendant will not increase the inherent risk of the activity through their negligence. Key considerations include:
Assessment of the defendant’s duty of care and their responsibility to minimize risks for others involved in the activity.
The injured party’s awareness of the risks created by the defendant’s negligence and the potential impact on their personal injury claim.
The crucial role of secondary assumption of risk in cases where the defendant’s negligence exacerbates the inherent risks of an activity, leading to injury or harm to the plaintiff.
Our attorneys are adept at navigating the complexities of secondary assumption of risk, employing a meticulous approach to hold negligent parties accountable and secure rightful compensation for our clients.
