When a player gets hurt because of a coach, in a wheelchair, is in the way, I can assure you that, the only persons who will be held accountable for that player's injuries will be the umpires on the field. Even though U.S. law says that the umpires must let that coach, in the wheelchair, the courts will no doubt also rule that the umpires know the hazards better than anybody of having a wheelchair bound coach on the field, and will hold the umpires and only the umpires accountable for that player's injuries.

Mark,
I beg to disagree. Following the law and the applicable rules is generally pretty good protection in any type suit. (The main reason I never allow a batter to warm up in the opposing team's on deck circle.)
I am a Judicial Official. I am called upon to rule on tort cases as part of that profession.
