February 1, 2010 (by Horatio Algren) According to reports a 14 year old teenager was awarded a $30,000 settlement after breaking two bones in his right forearm.
The teen Douglas Young was awarded the settlement in Huntington Beach resulting from an accident two years ago when Young was a 12 year old riding a waveboard in a Huntington Beach alley.
Young’s attorney alleged the alley was in dangerous condition on May 10, 2008 when he was riding his waveboard near his home on Main Street. The bones according to an attorney, had to be manipulated back into place.
According to City Attorney Jennifer McGrath stated she was not going to risk going to trial after the judge had decided the waveboard was not inherently dangerous. This helped in making her decision to settle the case prior to going to jury trial next week.
