Six-year-old struck in the head by a warm-up throw at a ballpark

A pitcher’s warm-up throw struck a six-year-old in the head near the dugout, fracturing his skull. The case resolved through a settlement the court approved.

  1. What happened

    A six-year-old boy was at a professional baseball stadium with his father well before a game. He was walking along the front row of field-level seats toward the home team’s dugout, where players were signing autographs; the complaint alleged that the team encouraged children to come down before games to meet players.

    A pitcher warming up nearby threw a ball toward a teammate, who missed it.

  2. The injuries

    The ball struck the boy on the left side of his head, fracturing his skull and causing bleeding on his brain.

  3. The case

    The complaint alleged that this section of seating had no protective netting and that fans got no warning about players throwing there. The firm sued in Orange County Superior Court for negligence and premises liability, and the case resolved through a settlement that the court approved for the child.
