Case: Carpenter v. School District/Sports Club.
Result: $2,000,000.00 settlement
A young boy was playing on soccer goal posts left unsecured on a field.
Several kids playing on the goal posts tipped them over: the crossbar landed squarely on the head of the young boy.
The school district made the goalposts out of heavy square tubular metal. The heavy goalposts weren’t anchored and secured, despite clear guidelines from the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
The young boy suffered a severe TBI. He was hospitalized for a long time, followed by an even longer period of rehabilitation. He has permanent disabilities. Attorney Kevin Coluccio secured a recovery for his ongoing care.
