A former high school football player from Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit over head injuries that he suffered while playing for West Mifflin High School. The lawsuit alleges that the school district did not have concussion protocols in place during the time in which the plaintiff was suffering multiple concussions during football practice. The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court alleges that the school allowed the player to return to practice just 20 minutes after suffering a blow to the head which broke his and his teammate's helmet.

Damaging evidence has been discovered in the wrongful death lawsuit over the car crash death of actor Paul Walker. New court papers were filed by the plaintiff, Walker's daughter, alleging that Porsche's North American division hid and redacted damaging emails related to the case. The recently filed motion alleges that the redacted emails, the content of which were discovered by a Porsche employee, were the "exact type of information" that the company had been ordered to produce. The lawsuit was originally filed over the Nov. 2013 death of Walker and a passenger in the car.
