On Friday, two more concussion-related lawsuits were filed against the NFL. The first lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by the Locks Law Firm. The lawsuit is a mass tort comprised of 49 former players and their wives. The case is captioned John Brodie et al v. NFL<\/a><\/em>. The other lawsuit is a class action, filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana, and captioned Tyrone Hughes et al v. NFL<\/a><\/em>. The putative class seeks to represent, \u201cAll persons, and spouses of persons, who sustained one or more concussions, or suffered concussion like symptoms, while playing in an NFL football game and who has developed or will develop mental or physical problems as a result of the concussions or concussion like symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the NFL, the Hughes’<\/em> lawsuit names Riddell Helmets as a defendant. The class asserts seven counts: negligence, fraud, fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation, conspiracy, loss of consortium and medical monitoring. Similarly, the Brodie <\/em>lawsuit asserts the same causes of action. This now brings the total lawsuits to 31. The lawyers representing the Hughes’\u00a0<\/em>class expect the lawsuit to be transferred to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, joining the other 30 lawsuits.<\/p>\n
