NFL Players Union Meets on Brain Injury Issues

BRAIN INJURY A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR NFL PLAYERS

It is very encouraging to see that the NFL has formed a “brain injury panel” to focus on the concerns over brain injuries that players suffer. The players’ union has met for the first time in Florida recently.

The major concerns for the NFL players is the frequency of concussions, which have a cumulative negative effect on people. That is, every time a player has another concussion the damage to the brain increases. The long term effects that NFL players suffer who have had too many concussions include problems with memory, head pain, and other head problems

One of the issues that they have been dealing with is the team policies on “returning to play” after suffering a concussion. Another major concern is the safety of the helmets that are used

Brain injuries are a serious matter and can have life changing consequences. People rarely recover from significant traumatic brain injuries, and the quality of their lives can be dramatically changed for the worse

As a lawyer that has represented many victims of traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is good to see that the risks of brain injury are being taken more seriously by the NFL with the goal of increasing safety for the players.

A person who suffers a traumatic brain injury, or serious head injury, as the result of an accident, like a car accident, motorcycle accident, or construction site accident, should contact a law firm with experience in brain injury matters.

Legal cases involving brain injuries have produced some large verdicts, frequently in the millions of dollars. This is because of the lifetime of expenses and lost earning capacity that these people suffer.
