"eye'm sorry"

So a lady is suing just about everybody involved after getting hit in the face with an errant baseball bat at a high school game. She was standing in a spectator area behind a waist-high face when a player lost his grip on the bat while warming up in the on-deck circle. Sadly, the woman ended up losing an eye in the accident. Now she's suing the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, Oregon School Activities Association, two fence companies, an architecture firm, the Jesuit High player and others for $2.7 million. Basically, she's saying that everyone should have known the fence wouldn't protect spectators. The claim against the baseball player alleges he was negligent for holding the baseball bat too loosely and for losing control of it. I understand that this lady is bummed and that she feels like she's owed something but seriously, $2.7 million!?! Not only is the school district already strapped for cash, but her medical bills were only $225,000. The district can't afford to pay her and educate kids at the same time. So come on lady, don't rob the underfunded school. Just accept the apologies, sue for the amount of your medical bills and leave it at that.
