PHILADELPHIA (AP) — At least four lawsuits blaming the NFL for concussion-related dementia and brain disease are being consolidated in Philadelphia, and more could follow.
A U.S. judicial panel in Miami approved requests Tuesday by the NFL and plaintiffs lawyers to try similar cases before a federal judge in Philadelphia.
The four suits were filed in Philadelphia and California. Lawyers say more than a dozen lawsuits could ultimately be consolidated in Philadelphia.
The lawsuits represent more than 300 retired players or spouses, including two-time Super Bowl champion Jim McMahon.
