Does the doctrine of assumption of risk apply if a rule violation is within the athlete's expectation?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Krol v. Sampson, 278 Cal.Rptr. 164, 6 Cal.App.4th 310 (Cal. App. 1991):
7 Ordway went on to state that even rule violations, if within the athlete's expectation, would not affect application of assumption of risk. (Ordway v. Superior Court, supra, 198 Cal.App.3d at p. 112, 243 Cal.Rptr. 536.) No rule violation by respondents is involved in this case; therefore, we express no opinion on what effect such circumstances might have on the doctrine's use.
