The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) faces a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that the organization did not adequately address the significant, ongoing risks related to concussion-related injuries.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on behalf of Thomas Riedy, whose father Gerald Riedy, an ex-football player for Pepperdine University and California State University, Long Beach, was diagnosed posthumously with Stage II Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Lewy Body dementia.
Lawyers from Raizner Slania and Edelson raised the complaint, which was lodged on March 18. For further information on the lawsuit, see the March 18 complaint.
