Court: Defendant Could Not Have Foreseen Injuries to Soccer Player

A state court judge in Connecticut has granted a corporate defendant’s motion for summary judgment in a case where it was sued by a soccer player in a premises liability action.   In short, the court found that the defendant could not have foreseen that another player would intentionally injure the plaintiff.   The origins of the lawsuit arose in a soccer game when the plaintiff, Ercan Uzun, was allegedly pushed and intentionally forced to the ground by a player on the opposing team.
