The National Hockey League Players Association has agreed to a new rule proposed by the sport’s governing body banning blindside headshots over concerns that they were potentially causing concussions, ending careers, and causing life-long brain damage. If you or someone you love has received a brain injury as the result of an accident, the New Jersey brain damage attorneys of Levinson Axelrod may be able to help you get the compensation you deserve.
A poll of players showed them solidly in favor of the agreement, which could go a long way in limiting the number of serious concussions in the National Hockey League. Under the law, any blindside hit will be reviewed and judged for supplementary discipline.

The New Jersey Traumatic Brain Injury Fund is running short on funds and is limiting its funding to people who have been injured by a direct blow to the head. If you or someone you love is suffering from a brain injury and you’re not receiving the compensation you deserve, the New Jersey brain injury attorneys of Levinson Axelrod may be able to get you the compensation you need.
Officials say that they are disappointed by the change in policy, but that they don’t see a way to avoid it. They say that there is little support for a measure to raise taxes on rental cars, which already provides $3.4 million in funding every year to the Traumatic Brain Injury Fund. The Fund has been hit by an increase in claims filed following the economic collapse.
