Jake Jaszcz has filed a lawsuit against Ascent Athlete, alleging negligence that resulted in severe injuries. The complaint was lodged on October 31, 2024, in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. Ascent Athlete is accused of failing to maintain safe premises, leading to an incident where Jaszcz was struck by a baseball due to unsecured safety netting.

The case centers around an incident on January 11, 2023, when Jake Jaszcz visited the premises of Ascent Athlete located at 1451 Conchester Highway in Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania. According to the complaint, Jaszcz was injured when a baseball hit him in the face because of inadequate safety measures like unsecured protective netting. The lawsuit claims that Ascent Athlete failed to ensure the safety of its premises by not properly maintaining or inspecting the area for dangerous conditions. "The negligence and carelessness of the Defendant consisted of failing to exercise proper care over the subject premises," states the complaint.

Jaszcz's injuries are extensive and include disorders such as binocular movement disorder, convergence insufficiency, post-concussion syndrome, and other cognitive and physical impairments. These injuries have led to significant pain and suffering for Jaszcz, impacting his quality of life and ability to perform daily activities. He asserts that he acted prudently at all times and did not contribute to his injuries.

The plaintiff is seeking judgment against Ascent Athlete for damages exceeding $50,000 plus reasonable costs. He claims that due to Ascent Athlete's negligence, he has incurred medical expenses beyond his insurance coverage and will continue to suffer both physically and emotionally in the future.

Representing Jake Jaszcz is attorney Rebecca A. Sweeney from Morgan & Morgan PLLC. The case has been filed under civil action for premises liability with a jury trial demanded. The court docket number remains unspecified. The case ID is:  CV2024009638
