The parents who sued Little League because their son suffered a critical head injury when he fell from an upper bunk in 2022 and Little League have settled a lawsuit.

The suit brought by Jace and Nancy Oliverson on behalf of their son, Easton, has been settled thus negating the need for a trial, according to Pennlive.com.

The Utah Little Leaguer fell during the 2022 Little League World Series in South Williamsport.

“On behalf of all counsel, I can report that this case is settled and all parties are grateful that this matter is resolved without further litigation,” Brian Bluth, one of Little League’s attorneys, said Wednesday, in an article by PennLive’s John Beauge.

Jury selection had been scheduled on Feb. 27 in Philadelphia in the suit against Little League and the bunk bed manufacturer John Savoy and Sons of Montoursville.

Terms of the settlement are confidential but Little League and Savoy, which does business as Savoy Contract Furniture, denied any liability.

The parents had accused Little League of being negligent for not having railings on the beds to prevent falls and Savoy of selling dangerous and defective bunk beds.

Easton, a Snow Canyon league all-star from Santa Clara, Utah, suffered a fractured skull and other head injuries when he fell from his bed in his sleep in the middle of the night on Aug. 15, 2022.

He fell approximately 6 feet onto a one-eighth-inch industrial carpet with no padding that was covering a cement floor, PennLive reported.

Immediately after the fall, Little League moved upper beds to the floor in all the dorms in International Grove where the world series teams stay.

In a Jan. 19, 2022, email obtained through discovery Little League advised Savoy that it would not be ordering ladders or railings. It later claimed safety rails were ordered a month before Easton fell.

Through depositions, Kenneth Fulginiti, the lawyer who represents the family, said he learned of more than a dozen similar falls during the world series and the summer camp Little League used to operate at the facility.

Adam Savoy, the firm’s vice president, said early in the litigation that the company’s standard operating procedure when quoting single beds that have bunking capability includes this alert: “For Safety and Fall Prevention, Savoy Strongly Recommends the Use of Guard Rails and Ladders when Beds are Bunked or Lofted.”

Two warning labels are affixed to each bed recommending the use of guard rails and ladders to any bed bunked or lofted, he said.

Easton, 14, has undergone multiple surgeries including three craniotomies at Geisinger Medical Center near Danville and in Utah.

Easton cannot play contact sports but is back playing baseball, a sport he loves, Fulginiti said.
