NFL® Concussion Injury Settlement

The NFL recently agreed to lift a $675 million cap on damage payouts for thousands of former players who claimed their careers in the league led to long term brain injuries. The judge in the case expressed concern that the $675 million set aside for such claims was not high enough to settle the claims of more than 20,000 former players.

The new agreement, filed in a Philadelphia federal court, also ended a caveat that prevented players who received a settlement from the NFL from filing a case against the NCAA or other amateur sports organizations.

The revamped settlement is expected to last almost 65 years and will provide compensation for former players diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), dementia, or other brain-related injuries that are determined to be related to concussions players endured during their time in the league.

Over 4,500 ex NFL players filed complaints, many asserting the NFL committed fraud in the way it dealt with concussions. Two prominent ex-players alleging fraud include Tony Dorsett, a former Dallas Cowboy running back, and Jim McMahon, a former quarterback for the Chicago Bears, who has been diagnosed with dementia.

Under the original $675 million agreement, $75 million was earmarked for diagnostic testing, $10 million for education and research, and $112 to players' attorney fees. While the new settlement ends the damages cap, a formula for payouts based on a player's age and severity of illness is included. A younger retired player with ALS would get $5 million, a player aged 50 with Alzheimer's would receive $1.5 million, and an 80-year-old with symptoms of dementia would receive a $25,000 payout. The new proposal does not include active players and does not include language that the NFL misled players about the dangers of suffering multiple head injuries.

District Judge Anita Brody still must rule on whether or not to approve the new proposal. A petition by seven players who claim the new agreement will leave them uncompensated for a variety of neurological illnesses is still outstanding. Those opposing the new agreement believe the NFL, with revenue of almost $10 billion, is being let off the hook too easily. Proponents say the agreement will help ex-players avoid long, costly legal proceedings.
