NFL concussion lawsuit

The NFL concussion lawsuit involved former players suing the league, claiming it knowingly hid the risks of brain injuries from repeated hits on the field. They argued that the NFL failed to properly warn players about the dangers of concussions and long-term brain damage like CTE. In 2016, the league settled a class-action lawsuit, agreeing to compensate thousands of players and improve concussion protocols. The case raised awareness about football-related brain injuries and resulted in changes to game safety, concussion management, and medical care standards, emphasizing the importance of player health and long-term safety in the sport.
