Idaho baseball fan permitted to sue stadium over lost eye

Thursday, February 28th, 2013 Legislation & Regulation Liability

An Idaho man who lost an eye after being hit by a ball during a minor league baseball game can move forward with a lawsuit against stadium owners and the team, the Idaho Supreme Court said. Bud Rountree was attending a Boise Hawks game in August 2008 when a foul ball struck him in the eye. Rountree in 2010 sued the stadium owners and the Boise Hawks, a Chicago Cubs farm team, for negligence in state court.
