It's no secret that contact sports such as football, hockey and soccer carry a risk of head injury. While advances in science and medicine have brought better understanding and better management of the risk, media attention on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and "sub-concussive blows" has led to a flood of litigation targeting sports at every level of competition – from youth to college to pro.
Drawing on collective decades of experience and the vast resources of our firm, Wilson Elser is at the forefront of advising and defending sports organizations and sports equipment manufacturers in sports concussion, brain injury and CTE litigation.
We're pleased to provide you with a brochure detailing our experience with cases involving sports concussion and brain injuries. Please let us know if we can provide your organization with any related advice or assistance.
Also, while COVID-19 forced the postponement of this spring's scheduled conference "CTE and Sports – A New Understanding," be on the lookout for upcoming virtual events in which our Sports Concussion practice attorneys and leading medical experts and sports professionals will be sharing their latest observations and insights on this topic.
