Although the original concussion settlement was announced in 2014, it is now late 2016 and there is still now end in sight to payments actually being made. With various legal wrangling and now appeals continuing to occur, it is sure that payments will not come this year or even in early 2017.

The NFL movie that was released on Christmas Day last year, raised a lot of controversy and attention to the recent NFL Concussion Settlement.  Will Smith played the role of Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist whose work helped diagnose chronic traumatic encephalopathy also known as CTE – a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated blows to the head.  Mr. Smith says that his research into the role indicates that the data linking head collisions and brain injuries is irrefutable. However, it seems the only ones that are getting paid are the Hollywood producers and the NFL itself, which continues to thrive; but the players and their families who are injured are still left in the cold.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-bay commented on the disappointing news, "We are disappointed, but not surprised that another appeal will delay payments to NFL concussion settlement plaintiffs. As reported, we believe this litigation will continue to drag for many for years. We have seen this with the 9/11 suits which are over 15 years old now; and the B.P. Oil Spill cases which are now over 6 years old. What is concerning is that the NFL has a right now to appeal all case diagnosis, which could be extremely problematic for NFL families with actually getting paid. The settlement figures are like a financial Oasis to these struggling families; but actually collecting the money seems to be a mirage. However, we feel our maximum Cap-Out NFL funding program is the best in the industry so families know their maximum exposure with taking a settlement money advance."

Legal-Bay's NFL concussion settlement programs offer flexibility for any type of case range that a former player may have on the points grid. They offer rates as low as 1% a month on cases with funding amounts above $250K and "cap-out" contracts which limit your payback to a fixed amount. The cap-out contracts seem to be very popular of late, due to the delays in the case; in this way families know the absolutely most they will pay regardless if it takes several more years to get paid. And best of all any funds received are risk free, meaning if the NFL appeals a particular case and player loses the case, the money you receive from Legal-Bay is yours to keep. Legal-Bay has been a leader in NFL funding cases, and will continue to assist NFL players and their families regardless of the delays in the landmark NFL concussion settlement.
