About this case

The NFL Concussion Settlement resolved a class-action lawsuit concerning former NFL players who alleged concussion-related injuries and sought compensation. A Boston University study found that some players with advanced, autopsy-confirmed CTE and measurable cognitive impairment received the lowest impairment rating under the settlement’s assessment program; the settlement has paid out $1.7 billion as of August 31, 2026.
