Law360 Article Discusses Continual NFL Concussion Controversy

Law360, with commentary from Tim Epstein, discusses the NFL’s proposed settlement of concussion-related allegations and how it will affect future lawsuits in regards to Riddell Inc., a helmet manufacturer. The $765 million agreement between the NFL and thousands of former players does not include Riddell or related companies. Because Riddell might waive the settlement, discovery in court could suggest that the company knew more about concussion risks than it divulged to players. Riddell has already been burned, being hit with a $3.1 million verdict in Colorado in a lawsuit from a former high school football player.
