Sports Association Wants New Trial After $6 Million Verdict

A national sports association that was ordered to pay over $6 million has claimed that the jury verdict was flawed and is requesting a new trial, reports the Salt Lake Tribune. 

A jury awarded the verdict to the family of a 7-year-old boy whose skull was shattered by a bat during an adult softball tournament. The plantiffs' attorneys claim that the boy will need lifetime medical care, although his condition is improving. According to the Tribune, the national sports association claims that it was unfairly ordered to pay an apportionment of damages that should have been the responsibility of the state association.
