Athletes generally accept that the team is not at fault when they are injured in the course of playing, as players make their own decisions and are aware of the inherent risks of the sport. <strong>However, in this strange case a professional baseball player is in fact suing the Chicago White Sox for an injury he sustained during a game.<\/strong> If you or a loved one has been <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-personal-injury-information-lawyers-attorneys.php\">injured in an accident<\/a>, you may be entitled to monetary relief.

Fowler claims the White Sox did not adequately pad the wall, and that they have been aware of the deficiency for some time.<\/strong> There was also an exposed electric box that apparently caused injuries to Fowler that he would not have sustained had the box been properly covered. The plaintiff&#8221;s attorneys are John Bailly and Michael Sorich. A federal judge recently denied the defendant\u2019s motion to dismiss and ruled that the case can go forward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professional athletes are no stranger to injury.
