Putting Eric Nystrom’s Lawsuit Against The Predators In Context
A few weeks ago, The Tennessean reported that Eric Nystrom was suing the Predators over work-related injuries. The alleged injuries outlined in the lawsuit were sustained over the course of his four-year contract with the Predators from 2013 to 2016.
If you were like me, you had some questions. Namely, what does this really mean? What does Nystrom actually claim in his lawsuit? And how common is this for a former Predators player? Is the team sued for workers’ comp often? How much might Nystrom get in a settlement?
After some digging, I think I’ve found some perspective as we wait for this lawsuit to meander through the legal system.
