Overview
Steptoe lawyers John O’Connor and Jason Sanders authored an advisory titled “Broker Ruled Safe from Claim for Injuries Suffered at Baseball Game,” which originally appeared as a Steptoe Insurance Case Advisory, for the October 16 edition Sports Litigation Alert, an online bi-weekly newsletter devoted exclusively to the sports law field. The advisory discusses Johnson v. Doodson Insurance Brokerage, LLC, where the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, applying Michigan law, held that an insurance broker was not liable to the widow of a man killed in an accident at a Cleveland Indians pregame event for having failed to obtain appropriate insurance coverage for the amusement company that coordinated the event.
