In Utah, the State Supreme Court allowed a lawsuit to proceed forward wherein a 7 year old boy suffered a skull fracture after being hit in the head with a hockey stick by another player. The justices ruled that the older boy, who struck the victim, was less likely to understand and accept the possibility of causing serious injury. The lawsuit seeks damages for medical bills and pain and suffering. The insurance company defending the case claims that the case was not an accident. The Salt Lake Tribune 1/9/08
