This book traces appellate court opinions which have involved sports injury cases from 1875 to the present and presents an analysis which explains why the courts in the U.S. have generally not permitted compensation.

According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, in a given year there are approximately 1,290,000 medically treated injuries in football, 1,230,000 in baseball, and 1,180,000 in basketball. This book traces appellate court opinions which have involved sports injury cases from 1875 to the present and presents an analysis which explains why the courts in the US have generally not permitted compensation, how we as a nation established violent sports then fail to compensate the injured, and how even athletes with insurance coverage have seen their families financially devastated when their insurance failed.
