Lawsuit Nation - Jake Maser Sues in NJ over Coach Telling him to slide

This is just another instance of people out to sue for every and any reason out there.

Jake Maser filed a lawsuit against the Coach and the School Board over his injury because the coach told him to slide on a close play during a JV High School baseball game.

Maser who graduated in 2016 graduate, but was reportedly a freshman at the time, was playing in a game and hit a ball into the outfield.  Maser was trying to leg out a triple.  The outfield was throwing the ball to third as Maser was running and the coach told Maser to slide.  Maser's cleat dug into the dirt and rolled his ankle requiring surgery.

Maser in his suit claims that the Coach and the School Board were Reckless.

No son, this is called life.  Sometimes bad things just happen. 

In my opinion the Coach should counter sue the player for the emotional stress that he has been put under because of the recklessness of the player and his actions.  If the player would have hit a homerun then there would have been no need to slide.  If the player would have struck out then he wouldn't have gotten hurt.  If the player would have hit a pop fly then this wouldn't have happened.  If the player wouldn't have gone out for baseball then the coach wouldn't have to go through this. 

Sometimes things just happen with no fault to anyone and this young man needs to learn that.

The Judge dismissed this case once and an appellate court said he had to here the evidence first before dismissing.  I hope the Judge dismisses again and this young man can get a lesson in how much it costs to bring frivolous lawsuits. 

Crazy
