Question

A baseball batter was struck with a pitched ball directly in the orbit of the right

eye and fell immediately to the ground. The coach ran to the player to examine

the eye. There was some immediate swelling and discoloration around the orbit;

however, the eye appeared to be normal. The player insisted that he was fine and

told the coach that he could continue to bat. After the game, the coach told the

athlete to go back to his room, put ice on his eye, and check in tomorrow. That

night the baseball player began to hemorrhage into the anterior chamber of the

eye and suffered irreparable damage to his eye. An ophthalmologist stated that if

the athlete's eye had been examined immediately after injury, the bleeding could

have been controlled and the athlete would not have suffered any damage to his

vision. If the athlete brings a lawsuit against the coach, what must he prove to

win a judgement?

Your answer

Answer 1

the baseball player must prove that it was the coach's fault if he has no proof the coach will be safe and will not have to suffer a lawsuit.

Explanation: when the baseball player was playing he got hit by the ball so and the coach ran up to him and the boy said "he was "ok" to keep playing" so he should not take it out on the coach even though the coach said go to your room and put ice on it instead the baseball player should have said I think I am going to go to a doctor to get it checked.
