Do you think Anthony Lynn is saying these things about Herbert to do what he can to protect the Chargers from a lawsuit?

No.

Medical malpractice lawsuits are only viable when there is clear cut evidence of criminal negligence or intent to harm (called a tort.)

We don't have any evidence that the doctor was intentionally trying to harm Tyrod, so we have to put that one aside.

Criminal negligence is also a difficult one to prove. Yes, Tyrod was harmed, but the issue is that in receiving an intercostal nerve block injection opened him up to a rare, but known complication of pneumothorax. Because it is a well known and documented side effect of the procedure, it becomes difficult to prove that the doctor was being negligent.
