The Long-Running Dispute Over Paralyzed Ex-Hockey Star, Mike Glemser
Ongoing Controversy Surrounding the Condition of Paralyzed Individual Glemser - Commission Breached Duties Stipulated in Article 85 (1) of the Treaty, According to Court Ruling
Stay tuned for the latest chapter in the ongoing damages dispute concerning Mike Glemser, the ex-hockey player left paralyzed following a jarring on-ice collision—set to unfold on December 18 (11:00 AM), as confirmed by the Munich labor court. This court session will take place before the chamber in Weilheim, Upper Bavaria.
Hailing from Stuttgart, Glemser now resides in Pforzheim. On February 3, 2023, during an Oberliga game between his Starbulls Rosenheim and SC Riessersee, Glemser sustained a devastating injury when he was hit by opponent Jan-Niklas Pietsch. The collision left him headfirst against the boards, shattering his fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae. Glemser was in an induced coma for ten days and hasn't regained the use of his arms and legs since.
The dispute entangles over €820,000. Last summer, Glemser filed a lawsuit against Pietsch at the Munich II Regional Court, demanding at least €650,000 in damages. His total claim amounts to €822,000.
Pietsch was issued a five-minute penalty for the check. Glemser's side maintains Pietsch is liable for damages due to this work-related accident, which requires proof of intent.
Will the parties hammer out an agreement outside of court?
At a conciliation hearing before the Garmisch-Partenkirchen labor court in late January, no agreement was reached in the legal dispute (21 Ca 470/24). Glemser expressed hope that the parties could reach an out-of-court settlement to sidestep a trial.
However, Pietsch's attorney, Wolfram Cech, underscored that proving intent is crucial for both the action and the resulting injury to establish liability. Glemser's lawyer, Oliver Negele, contends the foul was intentional and posits that conditional intent is sufficient, even in the absence of an explicit intention to inflict harm.
Ice hockey is one of the riskier sports out there. Given the potential impact a conviction could have for Pietsch, this case carries extra weight.
