5. Sports Related Brain Injuries Are Among The Biggest New Area of Insurance Claims
According to a report from CNBC, sports related brain injuries are among the biggest new area of insurance claim. This is the reason behind 53 wrestling personalities suing WWE over brain injuries. Below is an excerpt from the report:
“We don’t believe that sports-related brain-injury claims will match the scale of asbestos-related claims for mesothelioma and asbestosis in either the U.S. or the U.K. However, there are noteworthy similarities between the two types of claim.
U.S. insurers have learned from their experience of asbestos-related claims and are increasingly drafting exclusion clauses for concussion claims and capping concussion lawsuit payouts.”
