Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiff, Jeffrey C. Wicina, a student athlete attending a private high school, was injured during a football game. Wicina
filed a negligence action against his high school and various
other defendants alleging a breach of duty for (1) failure to
provide disability insurance and (2) failure to advise and inform
the plaintiff of the extent of the insurance coverage provided.
The district court sustained the defendants' motion to dismiss,
K.S.A. 60-212(b)(6), finding that there was no duty of the high
school or any of the named defendants to provide disability
insurance or to inform plaintiff of the extent of insurance
coverage provided. We agree. In addition, we find that the
legislature's public policy expressed in K.S.A. 72-8416, making
discretionary the purchase of insurance for students against loss
resulting from sickness, bodily injury, or death by accident,
also applies to private schools. Jeffrey C. Wicina was a student at Bishop Miege High School.
While competing in a sophomore football game, he received severe
injuries rendering him permanently quadriplegic. The defendants'
student medical insurance policy did not provide lifetime
disability coverage for student athletes.
