The Athletic Trainer Case Summary
1. The Athletic Trainer was liable because he was in charge of the rehab plan for the Auburn football team.
2. Yes, he did fail to take proper care of his injured athlete, Chaz Ramsey. The four reasons he failed to do so were the fact that Gamber did not supervise Yoxall. Also, the fact that Gamber made it clear his recommendations for recovering exercises would be used over Yaxall’s. For Ramsey to question the rehab exercises he was doing should make a red flag because Gamber should have shown him and been with him while doing the exercises. Lastly, Gamber admitted to being in charge of the rehab plan but did not teach his athlete the correct ways or why he was doing these certain exercises.
3. This act would be characterized as misfeasance
