I have not had it happen personally, but there has been a case working through the courts in Michigan recently.

Apparently there was a very physical soccer game, in which numerous yellow cards and red cards were issued. A player was illegally tackled from behind and suffered a broken leg. The officials were sued for allowing the injury to occur. Since this was an MHSAA contest officiated by MHSAA officials, the MHSAA's liability insurance was used for the officials defense in this case.

I don't know the outcome, but we were informed about it by one of the Big Wigs at the MHSAA, while at a softball or volleyball meeting.
