Easton Oliverson, 12, of Saint George, Utah, fractured his skull when he fell off the top bunk in a Williamsport dorm on Sunday, Aug. 14.

The boy was expected to make his first appearance in the World Series as part of the Snow Canyon Little League team.

Instead, he underwent emergency surgery and had to be put into a medically induced coma. Since then, his parents launched an Instagram account to provide updates on his recovery.

The lawsuit, filed Friday, Sept. 16 in a Pennsylvania court, accuses the bed manufacturer, Savoy Contract Furniture, and the Little League, of negligence and liability, and seeks punitive and compensatory damages of at least $50,000, CNN reports.

The suit also states that the company "designed, manufactured, distributed, marketed, and/or sold the bunk beds in a dangerous and defective condition," thus leaving Oliverson with “significant and permanent injuries."

Oliverson has finally made it back home to Utah, but has a long road to recovery ahead, his parents said in a Monday, Sept. 19 post.
