Last week, Dan Marino, the retired Hall of Fame quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, filed a lawsuit along with 14 other former NFL players alleging that the NFL hid the dangers of concussions in order to get players back on to the field. Marino's complaint accuses the NFL "actively, aggressively and deliberately conspired with its team members and/or independent contractors who were directed to continuously discount and reject the causal connection between multiple concussions suffered while playing in the NFL, a non-scientific return-to-play policy for players suffering concussions and the chronic long-term effects of those head injuries." These allegations parallel allegations made in 300 other lawsuits filed on behalf of more than 4,500 players. Marino's attorney in this suit is Sol Weiss, who currently serves as co-lead class counsel in the class action.
