NFL Suits Over Concussions Combined in Philly

Four lawsuits filed against the NFL by current and former players over concussions will be consolidated, a judicial panel ruled this week. The suits, which will be tried in Philadelphia, claim the NFL “deliberately hid critical information about the dangers of concussions and hits to the head.” The New York Times reports there are more than a dozen more suits filed against the NFL with similar claims that may be combined with the current suit. https://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/31/four-n-f-l-concussion-lawsuits-consolidated/
