NCAA STUDENT ATHLETE CONCUSSION CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

NCAA STUDENT ATHLETE CONCUSSION CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

If you played a National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”)-sanctioned sport at an NCAA member school, you may be entitled to free medical screening and may receive free medical testing, known as “medical monitoring,” up to two times over the next 50 years.

This website is designed to inform current and former NCAA Student Athletes of a settlement of a class action lawsuit titled In re National Collegiate Athletic Association Student-Athlete Concussion Litigation, Case No. 1:13-cv-09116, brought on behalf of current and former NCAA student-athletes and pending before Judge John Z. Lee of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

The Court has granted preliminary approval of the Settlement and has set a final hearing to take place on May 5, 2017 at 10:00 am to determine if the Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, and to consider the request by Class Counsel for Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses and Service Awards for the Class Representatives.

You are a member of the Settlement Class (meaning you would be referred to as a “Settlement Class Member”)  if you played an NCAA-sanctioned sport at an NCAA school at any time prior to July 15, 2016.  You do not need to have been diagnosed with a concussion to be a member of the Medical Monitoring Class.

Who’s Eligible

Class Members of the NCAA settlement include NCAA student athletes who played an NCAA-sanctioned sport at an NCAA school at any time prior to July 15, 2016.

NOTE: To be a member of the Medical Monitoring Class, you do not need to have been diagnosed with a concussion.

Potential Award

Class Members may be eligible to participate in a Medical Monitoring Program. If you have had any concussion symptoms after receiving a blow or jolt to the head, you may complete a Screening Questionnaire to determine whether you qualify for a Medical Evaluation designed to assess your post-concussion symptoms.

The Medical Monitoring Program will last 50 years from the effective date of the NCAA concussion class action settlement.

NOTE: The Medical Monitoring Program will not begin until the NCAA concussion class action settlement receives final approval by the court and any appeals are dismissed.

Proof of Purchase

N/A. Class Members may complete a Screening Questionnaire to determine whether they are eligible to participate in the Medical Monitoring Program.
