The recent Reggie Bush injury award in Missouri raises interesting questions about premises liability claims and athletes as plaintiffs.
Bush, a former NFL running back, received the $12.5 million award for a knee injury he sustained at the Los Angeles Rams’ former stadium, the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. Bush, then playing for the San Francisco 49ers, ran out of bounds on a punt and slipped on some concrete. He suffered a torn lateral meniscus, which ended his season. A week before Bush suffered his injury, Cleveland Browns quarterback Josh McCown had been hurt on the same slab of concrete, sliding across it and into a wall and injuring his shoulder.
