Over the last two years Boston University Medical School Researchers have been studying the brains of seven deceased, former NFL players. researchers at Boston University School of Medicine announced today.
All seven of these players died before age 50. Six of the players' brains suffered from CTE, Cerebral Traumatic Encephalopathy -- a collection of toxic proteins that present in the brains of persons suffering numerous concussions.
CTE causes lack of impulse control, memory loss, depression and dementia.
Football players are not the only athletes to suffer from CTE. Chris Benoit, a professional wrestler who inexplicably murdered his wife, cherished minor son and then himself was found to suffer from CTE.
CTE leaves the brain looking like that of a 90 year old Alzheimer's patient.
If you have suffered a brain injury or concussion in an accident that was caused by someone else let us do a case evaluation.
Cases are better with a Case Manager system. Our job is to be your advocate and oversee event the largest of firms. Often, those who are not familiar with the law assume bigger is better, but sometimes bigger is worse. One recent example came in February 2009 when prominent class action plaintiffs' lawyer Richard "Dickie" Scruggs, age 62, pled guilty to mail fraud.
Scruggs, the brother-in-law of Trent Lott, a former United States Senator, had previously been convicted of conspiracy to bribe a Judge. The conspiracy to bribe involved over $26.5 million in attorneys' fees from Hurricane Katrina insurance cases. The new conviction netted Scruggs two more years for a total of seven years of incarceration in federal prison.
At sentencing, the Judge cited a quotation he thought was applicable to the case: "The Romans had a proverb that money was like seawater. The more you drink, the thirstier you become.'' Scruggs was a successful lawyer with a large practice and a great track record. But he was no exception to this rule and ultimately left the courthouse in an orange jumpsuit and chains.
Scruggs became famous during the 1990s by earning hundreds of millions of dollars in the break through case against the tobacco industry. A movie starring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe was made about his work in that case titled the "Insider".
Unfortunately, Scruggs's clients did not have an experienced advocate and they suffered when Scruggs (who had already made his fortune) went to prison because of his actions while representing them.
The first video below shows Hollywood's take on the polished image Scruggs worked very hard to craft and promote -- a powerful crusader for clients who could get results.
The second video shows Scruggs after his fraudulent and illegal activities caused the house of cards to come tumbling down.
The last video is an interview with Charles Merkel, an attorney with access to the kind of information that makes InjuryHelper great -- information that gives our Case Managers the ability to help you choose the best trial attorney for your particular case.
