The family of a Utah boy who suffered fractures of his skull and cheekbone when he fell roughly six feet from a bunk bed onto a floor two days before Little League World Series games began is suing Little League Baseball and the manufacturer of the bed.

The lawsuit reportedly adds that the boy “has suffered in the past and will continue to suffer in the future, aches, pains, trauma, contusions, humiliation, embarrassment, suffering, disfigurement, and/or inconvenience.” It also reportedly states that he “will require in the future medical treatment for his injuries, which has caused his [family] to incur medical bills currently outstanding and owed, with the necessity of additional treatment and bills in the future.

Kevin Fountain, senior director of communications at Little League International, told Penn Live that “It is Little League International’s policy not to comment on pending litigation.” The Snow Canyon team was the first from Utah to advance to the Little League World Series. It was eliminated when it lost its first two games.

Family of Easton Oliverson files suit in Philly against Little League, company after bunk bed fallThe negligence lawsuit, filed by Jace and Nancy Oliverson on Friday in Philadelphia, said there was no railing on the top bunk. It's crazy bc there's a lot of bunk beds without railings, I don't see them winning. Yea but if someone can sue McDonald's for a cup of hot coffee and the cup does not say ' contains hot liquid ' and win for burning themselves on that cup of hot coffee. They will get paid.
