Rohena v. City of Providence
Annotate this CasePlaintiff Carmen Rohena, as parent and natural guardian of Josue Espinal, brought suit against Defendant, the City of Providence, to recover damages for injuries that Josue suffered while participating in a baseball game at Corliss Park, which was owned by Defendant. Defendant filed a motion to summary judgment, arguing that it was not liable pursuant to the Recreational Use statute. The superior court granted the motion for summary judgment. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Plaintiff’s argument that Defendant’s conduct fell outside the scope of the Recreational Use Statute because the City willfully or maliciously failed to guard or warn against a known dangerous condition was not properly preserved for appeal.
