Isn't this a known risk from going to baseball game?

"Don Wilson said he was seated behind the 3rd base dugout, when a foul ball flew off a handrail, hitting him in the right eye on May 6, 2014. That area had no protective netting, according to the lawsuit.
Barbara Wilson said she has "suffered loss of love, sex and society and is entitled to compensation"

Yep. Gotta watch closely if you're in the line of fire.

Yup. Each ticket says something about assuming the risk. The only way you can sue for something like this is if you are behind the protective netting and it fails.

He should have been actually watching the game and not on fb or texting

The lawsuit contends the Zephyrs and LSED failed to warn Wilson about the dangers of foul balls being hit into the 3rd base dugout area and failed to install a protective fence and netting to protect spectators from flying bats and balls.

Please be aware that the ball can be hit into the seating area. Stay alert anytime you are in the seating area. If you catch a foul ball, please feel free to keep it! Also, be on the lookout, as bats are sometimes inadvertently tossed into the stands.

How is being blind in one eye a cause of this? Looks like her husband is using it as an excuse not to sleep with her.

WTF? Has the guy ever watched or been to another baseball game? The only place they have protective netting is directly behind home plate. Everywhere else is fair game. That's on him.

The "deprived of sex" is pretty vomit in personal injury cases. (along with anything else the lawyer can think of)

Edit: I'm saying crank up your frivolous lawsuit radar when you see filing dates 364 days after the incident. I think some people took it as me saying it was old news.

Yeah she is. Maybe not from Stevie Wonder, but she's getting railed by someone.

The force probably jolted his vision to 20/20, like banging on the side of a TV. He can finally see what his wife really looks like.

I sat on a jury once in an accident case. The wife claimed this and we awarded nothing for this.
