OT Court is in session. Does she have a legitimate case?

BOSTON (WHDH) - A woman who was hit in the face by a foul ball at Fenway Park in 2014 testified Monday after filing a $9.5 million lawsuit against the Boston Red Sox.
Stephanie Taubin, of Brookline, told Suffolk Superior Court jurors that she could hear the bones in her face crack when she was hit by a ball fouled off by slugger David Ortiz.
quote:
Taubin filed a lawsuit against team owner John Henry in 2015, claiming negligence on behalf of the ballclub. The ball came through an area usually protected by glass. The glass had been removed for renovations.

Surprised on the Red Sox tickets, there must not have been a disclaimer about getting nailed with a foul ball

Taubin said she was angered when a young woman working as a Red Sox ambassador showed up at the hospital and gave her a gift bag of souvenirs as she was undergoing treatment.
“It was such insult to injury,” Taubin said. “This is the consolation prize for getting hit in the head? They’re going to send you a bobblehead?”
I do like when the plantiff always adds in emotional tidbits to their story in these lawsuits.

Looks like a bat caught her in the face a couple times too

Money says she was staring at her phone when she got hit.

I think it surprises me to this day that anyone can say with a straight face that being hit with a foul ball is worth $9.5 million. I'm not saying she doesn't have a case if they took protection down during construction but where does a number like that even come from?

You really got to wonder why she wasn't paying attention. Usually if there's a foul ball there will be a couple people in the vicinity yelling head's up or something

During the year that the Red Sox finally broke the curse, Sports Illustrated had a short article about a guy that got hit by a foul ball at a Red Sox game (I think to the point of having to get medical attention). On that particular day, the Red Sox came back from several runs to win late while the Yankees lost.
The reason for SI's article is that the guy that got hit by the foul ball was living in the house that Babe Ruth lived in when he got traded to the Yankees. SI jokingly said that it may have been what was needed to break the curse. If anyone can find that article, I would appreciate it as I've mentioned it a few times over the years but always wondering if I had all of the details correct.

This probably includes claim for punitive damages. The idea is to make the bad actor pay enough to change their behavior and to deter others from engaging in the same conduct. Red Sox organization is worth billions so the number has to be high enough to get their attention.

Yeah she has a legitimate case. It was a pretty big story around here when it happened.
They've since expanded the netting behind home plate to go down the first and third base lines much further than they used to.

Look like she hit every branch of the ugly tree when she fell out of it

Interesting case.
Normally there would be no case, but the removed glass not being replaced makes it possible that it was the park's fault.
She is suing in a tort friendly liberal state, so she has that going for her.
Red Sox are currently in first place and have the best record in baseball. Timing isn't good to get jurors pissed off about the team's performance.
I say she gets out with medical expenses covered and maybe $100k. No way she becomes a decamillionaire over this.
