SLA Reviews Former Dallas Cowboys’ Denied Claim For Workers’ Comp |
|
- DALLAS (9/28/07) – The 10th Court of Appeals in Waco, Texas, recently denied a claim for workers’ comp by Chad Hennings, a former Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman who suffered a career-ending spine injury in 2000, in a majority decision, holding “that a professional athlete who accepts the benefits available under his contract or collective bargaining agreement cannot recover under [the Texas workers'] compensation law.”
In its decision, the 10th Court of Appeals cited Texas Labor Code §406.095, which requires injured professional athletes to either choose the benefits available under their contracts or the workers' comp system, if the player "is entitled to benefits for medical care and weekly benefits that are equal to or greater than the benefits provided under this subtitle."
The latest issue of Sports Litigation Alert provides a summary of this case in addition to other sports litigation cases.
