I am located in Arkansas.
The school that my son goes to has a policy that if you miss a single class on the same day that a ball game is scheduled, that you are not allowed to play in that game.
My son missed all of the morning classes on the day of the game. He had to have dental work done that morning.
He is one of their star players. They wanted him to play in an afternoon game, going against their own policy, because they wanted to strengthen their chances of winning the game.
He was taken by ambulance from the game to a special hospital in our state's capital for emergency surgery. He had broken both bones (radius and ulna) in his left forearm. The cast is off and the bone specialist said that he might get 90% use of his arm back. It is bowed, an obvious deformity due to the injury.
He has played baseball since he was 5 years old, and has been on baseball teams every year while in school and is very active in many sports. His dream has always been to play pro baseball. He will be 18 years old in August. All of these years of planning to play pro ball for nothing.
I would like to know if the school is liable for his injury...meaning is there some form of compensation that they owe my son for the career in baseball that he will not have because of his injury?
Thanks,
