14yo LL Player sued by coach for celebration

[Elk Grove Hurricane]

This one isn't going to see a courtroom. Hopefully Chiropractor Beck gets sanctioned for bringing this idiotic case.

Unbelievable!
What some people will do for a quick buck!

He obviously didn't have health insurance and is looking for someone to pay his medical bills. I bet this guy never realized his lawsuit was going to get publicity. Lawsuits are public record and when someone finds something as absurd as this one, it will get publicity. In fact, this one is probably going to go viral especially since a lot of people in that Sac/Roseville area are on here and have now seen it. I feel bad for his kids. You know kids at school will be asking them about this stupid lawsuit.

His attorney is in Santa Ana (So Cal) because I bet no local attorney (in NorCal) wanted to deal with this. Funny, I'm in law school and one of our test questions was a baseball player getting in an argument with a base umpire near the baseline and then in anger, throwing his helmet into the ground with such force that it bounced up and into the stands hitting a spectator and injuring her. Answer to test question was unlikely to be found liable because flying helmets, bats & balls are an inherent risk of being at a baseball game. If that's true for a spectator, not much hope for a coach on the field.

I know our local LL carries insurance on every player and coach, if an accident happens in their facility, LL insurance picks up whatever your personal insurance doesn't cover.

I thought that was a Little League International rule, but maybe not?

Must of gotten tired of deleting the negative comments being posted on it. Looks like there is still an older page up - https://www.facebook.com/pages/GOLDEN-STATE-CHIROPRACTIC/317632976625

I was thinking the same thing with LL insurance, that's why LL's are supposed to have it insurance!

Our area too. We are all covered by the league insurance.
