Concussion in women’s sport and legal implications

The proliferation of head injuries and concussions in women’s sport globally is shaping up to be significant for insurers and litigators. Here, a BigLaw partner unpacks the landscape, and what it all means for lawyers moving forward.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Clyde & Co partner Janine Clark about her work as a catastrophic injury practitioner and why it’s of such interest to her, being “the balance” between injured persons and insurance premiums, how and why concussion in women’s sport has become such a talking point, and what’s happening in ongoing class actions in this space.
 
Clark also delves into why this will be a growing area of litigation moving forward, whether such litigation could be akin to the proliferation of asbestos-related claims in a previous era, the implications for lawyers like herself, what constitutes best practice for lawyers like herself, and how to ensure optimal client service delivery in the future.
