The NFL settled a class-action lawsuit brought by retired NFL players. The players alleged that the NFL illegally concealed the dangerous long-term health effects of concussions brought on by the tough, damaging style of play that the NFL glorified, including in its NFL Films productions. The recent release of the explosive documentary and book – both titled League of Denial – has further escalated attention on allegations that the NFL illegally concealed critical information.

WHY HAGENS BERMAN?

We have partnered with Bob Stein, an attorney, former NFL player, and founding President/CEO of the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves. Bob is widely known among former NFL players for conceiving and beginning the class-action litigation against the NFL for the unpaid and unauthorized use of former players’ images in NFL Films’ productions, including on the NFL Network.

Hagens Berman has been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of the leading plaintiffs firms in the country and Steve as one of the top 100 lawyers in the country. We are leading class-action litigation against the NCAA regarding concussions issues. We also are representing individuals in concussion cases versus the NCAA. The firm was one of the leaders in the historic Attorney Generals settlement with Big Tobacco and is unbowed by the financial might of the NFL. It is our motto to fight for top results or go to trial; we don’t settle cheaply.
