Appeal Filed with Ohio Supreme Court in $2 Billion Boy Scout Suit
The Vinton Courier reports that a woman has filed an appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court, alleging that the Boy Scouts of American are responsible for a traumatic brain injury she claims to have suffered while serving as a Boy Scout leader. Her filing was in response to a dismissal of the case by the Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals, which ruled that the statute of limitations had expired at the time of her lawsuit. Her injury allegedly occurred in 2002, when she fell and hit her head while participating in a slip n' slide activity organized by the Scouts. According to the Vinton Courier, the woman is representing herself in the case, and is asking for $2 billion.
