Of course, one essential factor in any successful legal case is substantial research, and that often leads our team to come across a number of interesting legal stories around the country. This time of year, college football is at the forefront of the minds of many, and recently, the negative health repercussions that can come about one's experiences on the gridiron. That's why we found it fascinating to learn of some recent developments in a case against the NCAA regarding personal injury claims on the field in a story from AL.com.
A few weeks back, two former college football players, Frank Moore and Anthony Nichols, sought to intervene in a concussion lawsuit for Adrian Arrington. They claim that Arrington's lawyers won't seek damages claims with the NCAA in settlement talks. Moore and Nichols believe that getting money to former players for medical expenses is central to the case, however, their attorney Jay Edelsen says that Arrington's attorneys from Siprut PC and Hagens Berman that personal injury claims are off the table."I think everybody in America thought (the Arrington case) was about personal injury claims," says Edelson. "We saw the NFL settlement where the key part of that settlement - if everybody understands it correctly - was getting people compensation for the injuries they suffered."
As a foremost spinal cord injury lawyer, Mr. Brock certainly believes medical costs should be a key aspect of any personal injury case, whenever possible. In fact, his firm has earned over $100 million in settlements and awards for clients, many of whom are plagued by substantial medical bills for their suffering. That's why, for those suffering from the negligence of another, a call to the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc. is always the right call to make!
