Medford leads with a score of 5 to 4. 20 seconds remain on the game clock. C.J.R. receives the lacrosse ball at midfield and runs toward the sideline, trying to keep his position and let the clock run out. C.J.R. cradles the ball. G.A. runs down the field diagonally and hits C.J.R. across the midsection and left arm. Both players fall. C.J.R.’s arm is broken. Game ended.
The action then moved from the playing field to the courtroom. Twelve-year-old C.J.R. and his father sued, claiming that the defendant, G.A., who was 11 years old, had been reckless under the standard of New Jersey tort law utilized for adult sports-related activities.
