If you’re looking for high adrenaline, then paintball and airsoft arenas provide exactly this. These venues provide a fun Saturday out with friends, and they require that you not only don safety gear, but also sign liability waivers that technically absolves them of any legal action should you get injured. That said, due to the popularity of these venues, most operators do not do the due diligence when it comes to ensuring that the equipment are in top shape and that patrons are adequately supervised.

Therefore, it’s only a matter of time before a distracted referee fails to enforce the rules, or someone enters the field wearing only sunglasses which then proceed to shatter spectacularly when shot at, injuring the patron’s eyes. It is important to understand that while paintball may seem like harmless fun, the injuries are not, and are almost always catastrophic. In instances of gross negligence, release forms cannot hold up to legal scrutiny, allowing you to recover compensation via a paintball injuries attorney – read on to find out just exactly how we facilitate this.

How Paintball Injuries Occur

Here are some of the circumstances that lead to paintball injuries:

1. Using defective or degraded protective equipment such as goggles which must be replaced over time since they are affected by UV exposure and wear and tear, priming them for failure and consequently, player injuries
2. Negligent rental distribution and inspection where the employees do not check for things like strap integrity and the availability of a proper seal before players enter the field
3. Negligent supervision whereby the referee leaves the players to their own devices and fails to avert things like rough play which may lead to injury

Some of the injuries associated with paintball gun play venues include the following:

1. Eye injuries such as retinal detachment from being shot at in the eye or due to defective eyewear
2. Broken bones from falls over obstacles due to negligent supervision
3. Shoulder injuries due to poorly designed obstacles that one may trip over
4. Depression and PTSD by being paired up with patrons who may be bullies or overly aggressive with the referees and operators being nowhere to be found

It is important to understand that no waiver will or does protect a business from gross negligence as voluntary disregard for human safety is something that the courts take very seriously. In addition, it may be argued in a court of law that a specific violation of fundamental public policy where a patron was permanently blinded means that a waiver cannot be held up by the paintball venue company.
