Rob Mesar - He says he is a business owner who would never file a frivolous lawsuit.

Read the whole thing and I agree with the coach. That would be the end of high school sports if you could sue for that stuff.

I don't understand how the simple act of sliding could have caused this extensive of an injury. I have a feeling that something went terribly wrong in the treatment after the injury. His injury wasn't handled right at the hospital.
I have a friend who was badly injured riding around in a 4-wheeler. His foot was 98% of the way to being completely severed from his leg. It was hanging on by just a one ligament. The trauma center considered amputating it the rest of the way, but were able to save his foot by some miracle. He spent many months in a hospital, and a couple of years of physical therapy, but now you can barely see the tiniest limp as he walks. He can even run short distances. I don't know how my friend can make such a tremendous recovery from a near-severing of his foot, while this kid will be affected for life by a slide.
I think they can, but not if the accusations are made in the courtroom and therefore protected as privileged statements. If they could then you could never have a trial because no witness or attorney for either side would want to speak up for fear of getting sued. I don't know; I'm basing this on one small section of a class I took almost a year ago.
No not an assault. Not specific enough, nor coupled with the apparent ability to execute the threat.@CloneLawman, does this qualify as assault?
Follow-up question: Could I possibly be entitled to some of the settlement against Pride if it does?
