Incident Response Support

Support for outdoor recreation operators dealing with a serious injury or fatality. 

When a serious injury or fatality occurs, your immediate response matters. A competent critical incident response helps mitigate liability while executing a respectful approach to loss of life or serious injury.

The first 24-48 hours of your response are very important, and incredibly difficult to manage. An incident response is often very overwhelming and requires you to balance compassionate response, media and reputation management, logistics, and leadership while attempting to anticipate potential issues and mitigate your organization’s liability.

Recreation Law Group has helped many clients through the worst days of their careers. We work efficiently, strategically, compassionately, and collaboratively. Find peace of mind with the Recreation Law Group team by your side.  

  • Within the normal operations of our river company, a fatality occurred on one of our trips. This was an emotional event that drastically impacted the family of the deceased. It also left the guides, staff, and owners emotionally distressed. Leah helped walk our company through the immediate aftermath ensuring we did everything which was legally prudent while also helping us learn from the event and grow as a company. Later, when the lawsuit came, the guidance she gave us immediately after the event proved critical. Her support and guidance through the lawsuit itself resulted in the best possible outcome. I don’t want to even think about where we would have been without her. Of equal importance to her legal guidance was her human guidance. This event was emotionally traumatizing for us all and Leah’s unique combination of legal prowess combined with her incredible humanity and her ability to see through the lens of a guide make her uniquely adept at supporting the people going through this extremely sad and scary event. No question, Leah is a great lawyer; but of equal importance is that she is simply the person you want to go through this really challenging thing with for the way she will take care of your people and you.
