Concussion & CTE Lawsuits
Understanding brain injury claims in sports.
Growing CTE Crisis
300,000+ Youth Concussions are reported annually. Many more go unreported. Long-term brain damage is becoming increasingly documented.
What is CTE?
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated head trauma. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, depression, and dementia.
NFL Settlement Precedent
The NFL concussion settlement provides over $1 billion to players. This precedent has opened doors for claims against other leagues and schools.
Youth Sports Vulnerability
Children's brains are more vulnerable to concussion damage. Schools and youth leagues have heightened duties to protect young athletes.
Return-to-Play Violations
Most states have laws requiring athletes to be cleared before returning to play after a concussion. Violations create strong liability claims.
