Duty of Care (1)

Allen v. Dover Co-Recreational Softball League, et al., 01-C-102 (Strafford, Jul. 10, 2001)

The plaintiff and her husband file this lawsuit seeking damages for injuries the plaintiff sustained when she was hit in the head with a softball during a slow-pitch softball tournament on September 13, 1998. At the time, the plaintiff was a member of the Dover Co-Recreational Softball League. The plaintiff became injured after a male shortstop allegedly negligently threw the ball while she was running to first base. The defendants move to dismiss all counts on several grounds, including a claim that the defendants owed the plaintiff no duty of care. For the reasons stated in this order, the court grants the motion to dismiss as to all counts.
