Lawsuit 17 Filed Against the NFL
On January 19, 2012, the 17th lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Andrew Glover v. NFL and NFL Properties, Case No. 2:12-cv-00287-AB. Mr. Glover seeks to represent a Class of all retired or former NFL players who played in the NFL.
Mr. Glover played in the League from 1991 through 2000. His complaint alleges the same fraudulent conduct regarding concussions as the other 16 currently pending lawsuits, and asserts claims for medical monitoring, negligence, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, declaratory relief, conspiracy, and loss of consortium on behalf of his wife.
Like the other recently filed lawsuits, this lawsuit will be considered a “related action” and will eventually be included with the MDL, In re: NFL Concussion Injury Litigation.
According to the complaint, Mr. Glover is represented by RodaNast P.C., Gustafson Gluek, PLLC, The Roberts Law Firm, and Reinhardt Wendorf & Blanchfield.
On Thursday afternoon, the MDL Panel will hear oral arguments to determine whether all pending lawsuits will be transferred and consolidated to Jude Anita Brody in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
