Can I sue a ski instructor if they didn't follow the proper safety protocols?

In Wisconsin, a person can sue a ski instructor if they did not follow the proper safety protocols. Depending on the circumstances, the skier may have a personal injury claim, or a negligence claim, against the instructor. A personal injury claim is when someone files a lawsuit for damages related to the physical injuries that were suffered due to the negligence of another. In order to have a successful personal injury claim, the individual would need to prove that the ski instructor had a duty to follow safety protocols, that they breached that duty, and that their negligence resulted in the skier’s injury. On the other hand, a negligence claim is when the skier files a lawsuit for damages related to the failure of the ski instructor to follow the safety protocols. The skier would need to prove that the instructor had a duty to follow safety protocols, that they breached that duty, and that the failure to follow the protocols caused the skier’s damages. It is important to note that in order to successfully bring a lawsuit against a ski instructor, the skier may need to prove that the ski instructor knew or should have known that they were acting in an unsafe manner. Additionally, in some instances, the skier may need to prove that the ski instructor’s negligence was a proximate cause of the injury. Therefore, if a ski instructor did not follow the proper safety protocols and the skier was injured as a result, the skier may have a valid claim against the instructor. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney to evaluate the skier’s potential claims.
