Another stupid lawsuit

I feel really bad for the kid, but out of all people they sue, the bat company shouldnt be responsible. If anyone, wouldnt the parents sue the kid who hit the ball? Wouldnt he be just as "responsible" as the bat company? Im not saying hes responsible either, but no one should be sued for an accident like this.
 
the kid who hit the ball cannot be liable, as the injured person threw the ball, and there are inherent risks playing sports.

The whole lawsuit revolves around the fact that Little League, the Sports Authority and the bat company claimed this bat was safe for child's use, or just as safe as a wood bat. The plaintiff is claiming that they were lied to and tricked into buying a dangerous bat. As i stated earlier, this had nothing to do with a Little League game, Little League is being sued because on their website they say metal bats are just as safe as wood ones for children. Children rib cages are developing and nowhere near the strength of adults, and cannot handle nearly the same impact an adult can in the chest area.
 
heart stopped i believe, probably needed a shock to re-start it....... CPR was done on scene, the EMT's were only a quarter-mile away doing CPR training i believe...... read the article
 
i read it again, you may be onto something here.

it doesn't make sense that the EMT's were only 1/4 mile away doing a CPR demo, yet it took them 15-20 minutes to get there? WTF? and its at a police field, but none of the police knew how to do emergency response? a lot must have gone wrong that day......

it really does suck for the kid and his family, but no amount of money will make this better, it will just make i worse for others
 
"Paramedics, who were a quarter-mile away doing a CPR demonstration, arrived within minutes. They placed an oxygen mask over Steven's face and rushed him to a hospital. But the damage had been done; his brain had been without oxygen for 15 to 20 minutes."

^ this paragraph makes no sense at all.
 
it can take a decent amount of time to resuscitate a person, in hospitals it is common for doctors to continue to attempt to resuscitate a person for as long as 2 hours after breathing has stopped, so they may have arrived in 5 minutes, but it may have taken another 10 or 15 to restart his breathing on it's own
 
how do they need to financially assist him. think of how much money this is SAVING them... no schooling needed, toys, entertainment.

i dont think/ im praying they cant win. theres no proof of wooden bats being safer. not only that how would they know if he would be ok had they used metal bats? wasnt it the precise timing which caused his death, not the high speed. fuck those parents...

this disgust me. i want to find his number in cali phone books and call these parents. we should send them floods and floods of boxes.

 
i can't believe you all are arguing so much over something so simple. they shouldn't be suing Louisville Slugger, plain and simple. it's not their fault the bat was permitted to be used in little league games, they were simply creating a product to meet a demand. they shouldn't be suing the store where the bat was purchased as they, too, were simply supplying a product to meet demand. i could understand them suing little league baseball to change the rules if there was any clear evidence that metal bats, specifically, were to blame, but as tronnnnnnnnnnn pointed out, wooden bats are "more dangerous", statistically speaking. as bad as i feel for the family- this truly is a tragic story- they really have no grounds to sue anybody. just another example of how fucked our legal system can be.
 
also as i stated earlier..... this event did not take place during a little league game! so little league has nothing to do with it either. As someone said earlier, its not the bat, its bad luck. What caused this is not the amount of impact but the exact time of the impact.
 
so, then i'm at a loss as to why you'd quote me and take an argumentative tone... sorry, i'll leave you brilliant legal scholars to discuss this.
 
theres way more to that story than a lady spilling hot coffee on herself..

i thought that lawsuit was bullshit, until i did my research.
 
i wasn't talking, i was typing, how did you hear my tone? ussually an angry tone is done in caps. Rather, i saw something i thought you missed due to your comment about little league, so i was pointing out a fact that you missed to show that absolutely noone deserves to be sued. i was agreeing with you and farther pushing the point. rty reading things differently......do i really need to explain my tone before i type? ( this one is not an angry tone either, more confused at how you hear my tone through typed letters on a computer screen)
