Fair Rate Funding Announces Court's Approval of NFL's $765 Million Concussion Settlement, Now Offering Funding to NFL Players
MANASQUAN, N.J., April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Judge Anita B. Brody has approved a groundbreaking NFL lawsuit to settle concussion-related cases, announced NFL lawsuit funding company Fair Rate Funding. The lawsuits first hit the NFL in 2013, with more than 4,500 ex-players suing the league for failure to protect them adequately against concussions and head injuries. Some players suffer from dementia, depression or Alzheimer's and blamed the conditions on continuous blows to the head. The case is: In re National Football Players' Concussion Injury Litigation, 12-md-02323, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia).

The original settlement of $765 million was rejected by a federal judge, claiming the figure would not be enough to care for more than 20,000 retired players. Judge Brody says the revised deal is "more favorable" to the players.
Under the new terms, the NFL claims all retired players, not only the named plaintiffs, will be covered. Details about player benefits under the revised deal will be available as soon as this summer if no appeals to the court decision are filed. However, if appeals are filed, benefits could be delayed by months or even years.
This lawsuit settlement news prompted Fair Rate Funding, a NFL lawsuit funding firm, to assure former NFL players who have suffered complications or a neurological disorder due to a concussion that financial help is available.
