re: Ciron Black suing insurance company over injury while at LSU

Again; BIG, BIG, BIG burden of proof to make the case that Miles (or coaching/medical staff)intentionally caused damage and AGAIN what is the basis for the damages?

The first paragraph deals with gross negligence or intentional injury.

However, you must also read the second paragraph dealing with regular negligence.

I am not saying what Miles did or didn't do, my point is only about waivers not being valid in LA.

My guess is that the Lloyd's carrier who underwrote the policy is denying coverage, stating that Black was not good enough to play in the NFL, regardless of the injury, and therefore suffered no loss of future earnings.

Or that he failed to mitigate the damage. If he was injured and continued to play on it.

Y'all can get all legal about this all day long, the bottom line is the same as a concusion (shich is the popular injury to discuss these days).

The doctors and the University MUST clear him to play if there is no risk of furthering the injury. If cleared, the player/family can decide if he plays and can tolerate the pain.

SO the question is simply, Was he cleared to play? If so, by who? The doctor is responsible for making that call.

If the doc did NOT clear him, tehn LSU should not have played him NO MATTER WHAT THE PLAYER WANTS!

And therefore, I think Lloyd's would have a case for non-payment because someone else would be negligent.

I know this is ALL speculation... but..................Who cleared him to paly?
