Sports concussion and CTE present significant exposure to organized sports programs. Suicide and wrongful death claims can generate substantial media attention, leading to more litigation from former athletes who believe they have suffered adverse consequences from participation in sports. Exposure is not limited to football or to professional sports: the cumulative effect of sub-concussive blows in collision and contact sport at every level is believed to present a long term risk of CTE.
The Traumatic Brain & Catastrophic Injury Defense group is made up of attorneys around the United States with extensive experience and a track record of success defending sports concussion and CTE matters, including class actions. We have experience representing every level of sport, from youth through scholastic and professional, and are ready to help clients confront the onslaught of litigation from athletes and their estates for claims related to head trauma.
We also work with clients to develop best practices, risk management strategies and crisis management protocols.
