I don't know, but someone else mentioned that as well. When I have a chance I'm gonna do a little research and see if there have been any pro sports comp claims. But, then again, comp is a state law so each state is different...and the differences can be staggering. For instance, the difference between Illinois and Indiana is so great that you can't even find a lawyer willing to take on an Indiana comp claim.

Illinois has one of the more worker-friendly Comp statutes.

The most elaborate analysis and extensive discussion on what to do with injured athletes
involves the National Football League’s collective bargaining agreement and standard contract. The
league’s standard contract has a paragraph dedicated to Workers’ Compensation. It states,
[a]ny compensation paid to Player under this contract or under any collective bargaining
agreement in existence during the term of this contract for a period during which he is
entitled to workers’ compensation benefits by reason of temporary total, permanent total,
temporary partial, or permanent partial disability will be deemed an advance payment of
workers’ compensation benefits due Player, and Club will be entitled to be reimbursed the
amount of such payment out of any award of workers’ compensation.

THANKS TO BIG FAN FOR LINKING MY SHOW FOR ME!

I ran the Davis lawsuit through the internet and found headline "Davis decides against suit". That's all I know. It was in some archive that wanted a fee to view the full article.

The running joke for years at 26th Street was that the VICTIM should send a letter of apology to the Defendant the way the Defendants sometimes moan and groan....in Buffalo they do it right with Patrick Kane......so much for that crime of the Century.
