Then saying the injury was really because of preexisting condition? Doesn't matter if there was one, he wouldn't have fallen and aggravated it if not for their negligence. I mean Kroenke has scum bag written all over him, so not surprised. Not a fan of Reggie, but he deserves it in my opinion. Perhaps it just aligned and he was already falling off, but he was done after that injury.

It is not a surprise that an NFL team lies and shirks responsibility. That is how they are, sadly.

Punitive damages are. Article doesn't say how the judgment was broken down. I'd guess a big chunk of it is lost wages or punitive. 1

Freddie's Dead Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Good for Reggie. The Rams deserved to pay for their clear negligence. The fact that a player was seriously injured the previous week in the same area is arguably de facto evidence of negligence.
Irv Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 How much is Sanchez going to get for running into that guys butt?
transient Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 You would think as part of the settlement, based on Reggie's going rate, the jury would have at least stipulated that he had to lose 25 yards for the Rams in 2018 to collect on it.

Their defense is based on everyone believing that the entire organization was literally too stupid to realize that hard (possibly) metal cleats and hard smooth surfaces might pose a slip/fall hazard. Actually, I might believe they really are that stupid now. 1 1

Yeah, most companies and municipalities that get sued for negligence resulting in juries RUN to the plaintiff's home with duffels bags full of cash and a dozen roses and a sympathy card....

I think you are trying to belittle my post, but you support it instead. I said most will shirk responsibility, your remark says that same thing in a different way. Maybe if they owned up to it and were straight with him, they wouldn't have just got burned for 12 million dollars. Maybe they could have agreed on half that or even less, if they had not made him put a gun to their head to get some recompense.

You singled out an NFL team, and the NFL as being "sad" for fighting a negligence claim in court. I didn't really have to belittle that post, did I? Every corporation has legal representation to evaluate the merits of such claims and whether they could prevail in court or, if not likely, offer a settlement. Why would the NFL be more "sad" for availing themselves of the legal advice they pay so much for and have a right to take that counsel and have their day in court. In this country, this is how this works.
aristocrat Posted June 14, 2018 Author Posted June 14, 2018 i was surprised by the amount he got. he was only making 2.5 mil that season so getting the dollar amount is a little nuts. i'm sure the team's insurance will settle to just end it.

Lawyers. I'm sure they added some BS claims about emotional torment of it being on TV. Somehow proven that he could have, hypothetically, played passed that season. I know we all know he couldn't of course, but lawyers probably found a way around it. Legal fees as well. 12.5 is chump change for an NFL team.
