The friend of former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez filed a lawsuit in June claiming Hernandez shot him in the face in February. Hernandez, who has already been indicted for the murder of another man, is requesting the court suspend the lawsuit to avoid potentially incriminating himself in the murder case. A clerk for the court said that it is uncertain whether or not the stay will be granted. The plaintiff is seeking more than $100,000 in damages.

Two New Jersey parents have filed suit against the private school their daughter attends alleging that the school did not protect her from bullying. The state's anti-bullying law apply only to public schools, so the plaintiffs have based their lawsuit on "alleged violations of the state Consumer Fraud Act and breach of contract for the school's failure to enforce it's own anti-harassment policies."

Four former NFL players have sued the league and its helmet maker, claiming they hid information about the dangers of brain injury. They want medical care for past, current and future NFL players. The ex-players — Jimmy Williams, Rich Mauti, Jimmy Keyes and Nolan Franz — filed the federal lawsuit in New Orleans on Sunday. Last week, the NFL tentatively agreed to pay $765 million to past players with health problems that can be caused by concussions, but some said the amount should have been more.

The unusual step, disclosed by the company that makes Tylenol, comes amid a growing number of lawsuits and pressure from the federal government that could have widespread ramifications for a medicine taken by millions of people every day. Johnson & Johnson says the warning will appear on the cap of new bottles of Extra Strength Tylenol sold in the U.S. starting in October and on most other Tylenol bottles in coming months.
