| Judge Tells N.F.L. to Reveal Some Secrets About Concussions | | Justice Jeffrey K. Oing of New York State Supreme Court issued an order that will let insurance companies that wrote policies for the N.F.L. determine if the league knew about the dangers of concussions and deliberately concealed them from players. The issue is central to whether the insurers will pay for a class-action settlement brought by more than 5,000 retired players who accused the league of fraud and negligence because they were not told about the risks of repeated head hits.

| Trinity Industries Taking Big Chance in Court | | Two years ago, an East TX jury ruled that Trinity violated the False Claims Act. The jury found that Trinity failed to inform federal officials that it had modified its highway guardrail systems but kept promoting the product as approved by the Federal Highway Administration. The verdict resulted in a $663 million judgment against Trinity. Trinity has hired high-paid corporate litigators from nearly a dozen different law firms to appeal the verdict to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. The outcome could affect whistleblower suits for decades to come.
