NFL Concussion FAQs
Options After a Concussion or Injury.
Those eligible for compensation from the NFL are called the “settlement class.” The settlement class includes: Retired NFL players: Any football players who have retired from the NFL, AFL, NFL Europe League, NFL Europa League, or World League of American Football prior to July 7, 2014. Players who were part of the roster of these leagues who participated in pre-, regular, or post-season can also be part of this settlement class. Derivative claimants: These include spouses, children, and other family members whose relationship to a deceased NFL retiree makes them eligible to pursue a claim.
The concussion-related conditions noted in this settlement are: ALS Alzheimer’s disease Level 1.5 neurocognitive impairment/early dementia Level 2 neurocognitive impairment/moderate dementia Parkinson’s disease CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) Death ARE CURRENT NFL PLAYERS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT CLASS? No, current NFL players and others who are part of the Member Clubs mentioned are not included in the settlement class.
The NFL concussion settlement class action includes patients who suffer from several forms of mental illness or debilitation, as well as three general definitions of neurocognitive impairment: Levels 1, 1.5, and 2. These three levels are categorized by the evidence of a diagnosable or recordable decline in the brain’s functions related to critical thinking, learning new facts, recalling memories, maintaining focus, or any combination of these abilities.
We have a network of qualified specialists who can help you determine whether you medically qualify for this settlement. Our network sources include doctors, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and other medical physicians. This group of professionals can provide clear and compelling documentation of your cognitive condition and support your eligibility to receive compensation under this settlement. Evaluations conducted by our networked professionals come at no additional cost to clients and are part of our comprehensive services. Our firm is dedicated to doing what is right for you and your family.
After you opt into the NFL concussion settlement class action, a third party may contact you to schedule a physical and cognitive examination. This examination is often meant to study the extent of cognitive damage compared to the retired football player’s age.
Receiving money as part of a class action settlement requires registering before any applicable deadlines expire. All settlement classes must do this in order to be evaluated and recognized as eligible to submit a claim.
Registration time will be limited and may vary from case to case. The deadlines to submit a claim are as follows: March 4, 2024: This is updated the deadline for those who now qualify for an award under Section 2.7 of the Norming Agreement. January 7, 2082: This is the final deadline for making a claim based on a qualified MAF physician diagnosis.
New claims for qualifying diagnoses received on or prior to February 6, 2017, are no longer accepted. However, if your claim is denied or if the determination of your compensation is not satisfactory, resubmissions and appeals are possible. This is particularly important for former players whose medical conditions worsen over time and need to be reconsidered for financial relief.
A diagnosis from our network’s MAF doctors should serve as ample evidence. According to the NFL’s concussion settlement notice, you do not have to demonstrate that the diagnosis is linked to an injury you sustained while playing football in the NFL or another qualifying league.
