Leeds Rhinos • Stevie Ward to sue club

I am sure they have an insurance policy in place, albeit all insurance policies are subject to conditions and exclusions. An insurance policy will very unlikely pay out for a breach of the concussion protocols (if this is proven to be the case).
They have to have Employer's Liability Insurance by law. This will pay out if they have been negligent. If the insurer believes they haven't been negligent they will defend the claim, and as it appears in this instance, counter claim against the club doctor. The club doctor should have a Professional Indemnity policy which will in turn look to defend the doctor. I would be surprised if Stevie doesn't receive something and his solicitor must think he has a decent case.
