Former rugby players are taking legal action against World Rugby and the national governing bodies of England and Wales over injuries related to repeated concussions during their careers.
Like the NFL concussion contention, former rugby players are taking legal action over injuries related to repeated concussions during their careersMore than 100 former rugby players are taking legal action against World Rugby and the national governing bodies of England and Wales over what they say was a failure to protect them from permanent injury caused by repeated concussions during their careers.
Many players in the group, which includes former internationals Steve Thompson , Carl Hayman and Alix Popham , suffer from neurological impairments such as early onset dementia, CTE , epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and motor neurone disease. The group is represented by Rylands Legal, which says it is in contact with more than 185 former rugby union players. The firm says the class action is being issued on behalf of the majority of those 185, with the rest taking legal action soon.
“This claim isn’t just about financial compensation,” Rylands Legal said in a statement, “it is also about making the game safer and ensuring current and former players get tested so that if they are suffering a brain injury they can get the clinical help they need.”
