While you're deciding whether to attend our Higher Education
Forum on Friday, October 25 (PRE-REGISTER), make
sure your lawyers and athletic departments know about this
week's Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision in Feleccia v. Lackawanna
College.
It's a football injury case, in which the Court held:
- That Lackawanna had a duty to
provide duly licensed athletic trainers for its student athletes
participating in athletic events.
- That Lackawanna's very broad
waiver-of-liability form, signed by the student athletes, would not
bar recovery for claims based on the school's gross negligence
or recklessness.
There's a lot more in this 30 page opinion, plus concurrence
and dissent, but this is the nutshell. Please be careful.
We'll be publishing a more extensive analysis in the Fall
edition of the Montgomery McCracken-sponsored,
Sports Medicine and the Law.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
