The student allegedly suffered external and internal injuries as a result of the bullying and abuse the suit claims, and he will "continue to be disabled and will continue to suffer pain, discomfort, disfigurement, distress, and emotional, and psychological adjustment."
The student also allegedly received care from a number of physicians, surgeons, nurses, and hospitals in order to treat the injuries he suffered from the alleged abuse while on the Lancaster HS varsity wrestling team.
