NJ Woman Hit by Ball Sues Little Leaguer
Quote:
MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. - A New Jersey woman who was struck in the face with a baseball at a Little League game is suing the young catcher who threw it.
Elizabeth Lloyd is seeking more than $150,000 in damages to cover medical costs stemming from the incident at a Manchester Little League game two years ago. She's also seeking an undefined amount for pain and suffering.

And Lloyd's husband, in a third count, is suing for the loss of "services, society and consortium" of his wife

Any judge with half a brain should throw this out, right?

Did some brief research, while maybe not totally on point, there is a recognized rule in several jurisdictions that ballpark attendees assume some risk of being hit by an errant ball.

This seems pretty typical of this part of NJ.
I'm assuming the husband is suing because he can't have sex with his wife? What does her getting hit in the face have to do with sex?

If she can breathe, chew, and swallow food then her mouth works. She may not be doing what he wants her to do with it but it works just fine.

Maybe he should be the pitcher if he can cause $150,000 in bodily damage at 11 years old.
Seriously though, come on. The most injury she probably received was a bruise.

So, apparently "services, society and consortium" is a euphemism for a particular act? I'm going to use that in a sentence: "Your Honor, I deserve $150,000 because my wife cannot perform SSC on me, due to her mouth being broken."
If I were her, I'd be looking for a divorce attorney instead...how humiliating!
Seriously, though, these people are greedy!
