Ethics are the athletic trainer’s responsibilities to do something or to carry out a service, so if these services aren’t being carried out then the law may have to step in to ensure that the services are being performed. I believe that the athlete’s legal right begins when they feel as if they are being wronged or as if the trainer isn’t performing their ethical responsibilities. In this case the athlete may feel as if the athletic trainers didn’t perform their ethical responsibilities because they allowed a major infection to take place.
