Horseback riding has led to more hospitalizations than ice skating and snowboarding. This is a serious concern for the country, especially because many people ride horses recreationally and for work in competitions and contests.
Horseback riding could result in very severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries. But, many people may assume that because a horse caused injuries, the victim of the accident may not be able to file a lawsuit against any party. This is not the case. An in-depth look into the circumstances of your horseback riding accident by our top-rated horseback riding accident attorneys could find negligent parties involved that may have contributed to your horseback riding accident.

How Do I Prove a Horseback Riding Accident Lawsuit?
Horseback riding accidents involve holding the negligent party accountable for their negligence. Negligence is a legal theory used to hold someone responsible for their actions. In order to prove negligence, you must show:
- The defendant (responsible party) had a duty to the plaintiff to act in a reasonably safe manner
- The defendant failed to act in a reasonably safe manner, and breached that duty
- Because the defendant failed to act in a reasonably safe manner, the plaintiff sustained injuries
- The plaintiff now has damages as a result of the injuries
An experienced horseback riding accident attorney will better assist you when proving each factor and making sure that you have enough evidence to prove each factor.
Examples Of Horseback Riding Lawsuits Include:
