spacer image
A settlement in the case of a former Pop Warner football player who committed suicide at 25 and had CTE is apparently a first of its kind. The wrongful death suit was filed in federal court in Wisconsin in 2015 seeking $5 million in damages. It was settled last month for an undisclosed sum. The suit alleged that Pop Warner football is 'abnormally dangerous as it exposes children to a combative/collision sport which is likely to result in harm.'

spacer image
A class action lawsuit has been filed over a health scare at a Denver hospital. According to the lawsuit, the hospital put patients at risk for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV when contaminated syringes were switched with sterilized syringes. A surgical technician at the hospital has been accused of taking a syringe filled with Fentanyl and then putting another syringe in its place. The mix-up fueled a statewide health scare with patients worrying that they had been exposed to serious illnesses. The lawsuit alleges that the hospital was negligent in their hiring process, when it hired the surgical technician.
