Panel Merges NFL Concussion Lawsuits

A federal judicial panel merged four lawsuits by hundreds of former NFL players suing the league and helmet makers.

A federal judicial panel merged four lawsuits started by hundreds of former N.F.L. players who have sued the league and helmet makers for allegedly hiding critical information about the dangers of concussions and hits to the head, reports the New York Times.

The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated three suits filed in the Central District of California and a fourth one filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. More than a dozen suits have been filed since July on behalf of hundreds of retired players, including stars like Jim McMahon and Jamal Lewis, as well as some wives of players. Some of those suits, including those filed in Georgia, Florida and New Jersey, could be added to the combined suit.
