Recklessness or Simple Negligence
Thomas H. Sawyer; Tonya L. Sawyer
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v95 n3 p54-55 2024
A girls' field hockey team coach instructed players to warm up in an area adjacent to the school's turf field, where the boys' soccer team was practicing. Plaintiff Morgan Dennehy, a member of the field hockey team, was struck at the base of her skull by an errant soccer ball. The plaintiff filed this suit against the coach, the school and others due to the defendants' alleged failure to supervise and prevent potential and foreseeable dangerous conditions.
