Hard ball sports injuries

I would like a dataset showing all ACC claims that meet the following criteria: - associated with playing or practicing a hard ball sport - indoor cricket, outdoor cricket, lacrosse, hockey, ice hockey, baseball, softball + any others I may have missed - excluding read codes associated with sprains and strains, traumatic amputations, and burns - incurred in calendar years 2022-2024 inclusive (3 years) I would like to see each ACC claim as a row of the dataset, with the following columns: - sport associated with injury - date of injury - primary injury diagnosis - Read Code - primary injury site - total costs associated with claim - "how did the injury happen" per ACC form - "did the accident occur at work" (to identify injury rates in professional players) per ACC form
