Background

A league that knew the risks — and chose silence over safety.

For decades, the NFL and its medical committees downplayed and disputed the scientific consensus linking repeated head impacts to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and other degenerative brain diseases. Internal league documents and peer-reviewed research have since confirmed that league officials were aware of the danger long before players or the public were informed.

Thousands of former players have been diagnosed with neurological conditions — including CTE, early-onset dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease — that researchers have linked to the cumulative trauma of professional football. Many were never given the information they needed to make an informed decision about continuing to play.

If you played in the NFL and are now living with a neurological diagnosis, the NFL Concussion Settlement Program provides a path to accountability — and the compensation you deserve.

Settlement awards

How compensation is determined.

Unlike traditional litigation, compensation through the NFL Concussion Settlement is not open-ended. Awards are set by the Settlement's Monetary Award Grid — a fixed schedule that determines your recovery based on your qualifying diagnosis and your age at the time of diagnosis.

Qualifying diagnoses include Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Death with CTE, and Level 1.5 and Level 2 Neurocognitive Impairment. Awards range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars depending on diagnosis severity and age. The grid is fixed — but the work of maximizing your award, navigating offsets, surviving an audit, and winning an appeal is where representation matters most.
