New Jersey may soon toughen the rules regarding high school athletes who have suffered from concussions.
Proposed new regulations would require all high school athletes who have suffered from a concussion to get a doctor’s approval before they are allowed to return to their sports. The new regulations come about amid increasing concern over student athletes who face serious head injuries repeatedly throughout their high school sports careers. The rules will be discussed next month by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.

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.
