Chicago Tribune: NFL Misleading Public about Concussions

Posted on Monday, December 7th, 2009 at 12:42 pm    

According to a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, the NFL leadership has been using technicalities and misleading statistics to deny that football can cause long-term brain damage, thus misleading the public about the dangers of concussions. If you or someone you love has developed brain damage as a result of concussions, the New Jersey brain injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod may be able to help you fight for the respect and dignity you deserve.

The article alleges that through the misuse of statistics and the assertion that football has no link to brain damage, the NFL is giving the public the wrong impression about the seriousness of concussions. Head trauma over the course of several years has been linked to dementia pugilistica, a form of dementia common in former boxers and football players.

If you or someone you love has developed brain damage as a result of a sports injury, contact the New Jersey brain injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod by calling 800-346-5529.
