Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Peter M. Olson and S. Nicholas Murphey, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Jordynn Kammers, Kenneth Kammers, and Julie Kammers Corlew.

Attorneys 2: Mark Nolan and Jeff T. Goodson, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Clarksville- Montgomery County School System.

Judge(s): USMAN

A high school student suffered a serious injury when a classmate, who was not aiming at the injured student, threw a pencil that ricocheted off a surface and hit the student in the eye. The injured student sued the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System, asserting that the classroom teacher was negligent and that the School System was, accordingly, vicariously liable. The circuit court granted the School System’s motion for summary judgment, concluding that the student’s injuries were not reasonably foreseeable. We affirm.
