NCAA Reaches Head Injury Settlement

Tuesday, July 29th, 2014 Liability Litigation

In his senior year, Adrian Arrington was hit so hard during a football game that he stumbled sideways to the sideline. A few minutes later, his coach was ready to put him back in the game that Eastern Illinois was playing against Austin Peay.
Arrington’s dad, who knew his son was already suffering weekly seizures, migraines and blackouts from previous concussions on the field, ran down from the stands, confronting the football staff on the bench.
Arrington’s friends later told him that his dad screamed, "He’s not going back in the game! He’s had too many concussions! He’s done playing football!"
That 2009 game was Arrington’s last.
