Ex-Little League coach sues player's family for $500,000 because of helmet throw
The family of a California Little Leaguer is being sued because the 14-year-old boy’s helmet injured his former coach.
Chiropractor Alan Beck, of Roseville, is seeking more than $500,000 in a lawsuit that alleges Joe and Raegan Paris’ son threw the batting helmet in the air after scoring the winning run at the end of a game last season.
The lawsuit claims the boy ‘carelessly’ threw the helmet, causing it to strike the coach’s Achilles tendon and tear it, according to KCRA.
‘At first I thought it was joke,’ Joe Paris told the station. ‘Now, I think it's absurd.’
