Case Details
A jury awarded $43.5 million to a former Philadelphia Eagles football player who contended team physicians mishandled his knee injury, costing him the final years of his career. The verdict was unusual due to its size for an orthopedic case not involving brain damage and the plaintiff's celebrity status.
Additional Notes
Verdict for a former NFL player's knee injury. The firm notes the plaintiff's celebrity status likely influenced the jury. Appeal expected, likely leading to reduction.
