Question:
After researching (task below) I would think that the following would fall under tort law - negligence tort/assumption of risk. However I am somewhat gray in the area of causation. Also another question - in some sports activities (such as church, work, university and other leagues utilize a waiver as an attempt to reduce their exposure to risk. Some feel that these waivers are useless - are they or do they assist in reducing risk exposure - as I am getting conflicting information.
Also I am having difficulty locating cases which pertain to the task. I have found one similar case (it however involves a minor) but am unable to locate other cases. https://classweb.gmu.edu/jkozlows/balthazr.htm
I found a similar case but appears to be an intentional tort (intentionally thrown pitch) https://www.dayontorts.com/cat-general-negligence-action.html - thus am wishing for assistance for locating other case(s) which are similar to the task below.
Task:
A man playing a recreational game of baseball is injured by a wild pitch and requires medical care. Is the pitcher or the baseball league liable for damages?
