Law firms cheated in filing claims with NFL's $1 billion concussion settlement fund, report says

Court officials overseeing the NFL's $1 billion concussion settlement fund have barred five law firms from filing any further claims on behalf of former players. The firms were found to have fraudulently directed clients toward doctors willing to provide Parkinson's disease diagnoses, presumably to qualify players for larger payouts. The settlement fund was established to compensate former NFL players for concussion-related injuries and neurological conditions.
