Workers Comp Claims in Professional Sports

Representing professional athletes as a workers’ compensation lawyer comes with its own unique set of challenges. In this episode of Workers Comp Matters, host Alan Pierce talks to Gerry Carney about some of these challenges including the jurisdictional aspects of a case that can maximize or minimize benefits. Gerry also discusses some of the Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and head injury claims he’s seen and his view of the class action lawsuit filed against the NFL that was recently settled. Gerard Carney is the founder of Carney Law Firm and has dedicated his entire career to the representation of injured workers and their families. Special thanks to our sponsors, Casepacer and PInow.
