[cyclonehokiece]

LL Mother suing the catcher who threw ball that hit her in the face. Thoughts? Might have to reevaluate my insurance if this sort of thing starts to become more rampant.

Yeah, what is in the water there in Jersey? Didn't look at the dateline when I first looked at it, but it does seem we get quite a few out of that state.

The suit isn't about an errant ball. It's about the catcher intentionally throwing at her. There's more to this story, folks.

Plus, they're just going after what the kid's parents homeowners insurance will cover, and not trying to take their house.

I don't know what to tell ya. I'm up in the northern part of the state and have been able to avoid these ugly events. Most seem to be happening well south of my area. However I am down in central Jersey tonight close to where some of these horror stories are coming from. :unsure:

Really? Over a six foot fence? Give me a freakin break.

Saw that as well, and started to think that the lawyer is grasping at straws.

so are you saying the insurance co should be responsible for it? should the suit hold up? Tragic? Yes. Stupid? absolutely. If a foul/overthrow/thrown bat/whatever hits a fan, it sucks to be them. Next they'll sue over busted windshields again

Why I may need to reevaluate my insurance. The liability umbrella is becoming a necessity, even when you do not own property.

guess we will all see official tables set up at every game for fans to sign waivers soon. Look for it folks. It's coming.

Do we have the old statue of limitations (2 years) conveniently at play here. This lawsuit should have immediately filed and announced to all the local newspapers the next day, not 2 years later after things had died down.

[Umpire in Chief]

Wow....

what a sad state of affairs.

Just take the jury to any 11 y/o game and let them watch a few minutes and then tell me if any of these kids can intentionally hit their target. Case dismissed.

11u best fastball over a fence and some distance (not exactly known). Article said it broke her orbital socket requiring surgery. I'm sorry it happened, but c'mon. Why should all state pay for what happened MILES from the insured property? She will probably sue Cracker Barrel for cutting heself on a steak knife. Geez.

Come again?

Screw it, I'm out. . . .

This is in my neck of the woods. I don't work that league, but I know guys that do.

This will die quietly...the insurance company will come up with a settlement...IMHO
