This week, U.S. District Judge Brody, issued a ruling and granted preliminary approval of a settlement in the high-profile former NFL players lawsuit over concussions. An agreement had been reached nearly seven months ago, but Judge Brody would not approve it based on concerns that the agreement may not be sufficiently funded. That settlement was estimated to total $765 Million. This agreement is non-capped, as the previous agreement was capped.
A fairness hearing on the terms of the agreement will be heard by Judge Brody on November 19th. Seven former players have already filed objections to the settlement agreement.
