00:04
i think the biggest change that i’ve
00:06
seen recently in catastrophic injury
00:08
litigation
00:09
is in the field of concussions i think
00:11
number one
00:12
i think doctors are starting to
00:13
understand concussions more a lot of
00:16
that is because of the
00:17
nfl and the publicity with players
00:20
having
00:21
long-term effects from concussions
00:24
doctors are recognizing the concussions
00:26
earlier and getting people into experts
00:29
who deal with nothing but concussion
00:30
injuries
00:31
if you think about it right now the
00:33
protocol is to put these people
00:35
with with these tremendous headaches
00:37
involving
00:38
light sensitivity sound sensitivity they
00:40
put them in a dark room
00:42
you can’t watch tv you can’t work on the
00:45
computer
00:46
you can’t read a book you have to go
00:48
crazy out of boredom
00:50
in the room treating for the concussion
00:52
but we see
00:53
that the doctors are handling these
00:55
better we see better experts
00:57
and we see better results i think the
01:00
judges
01:00
and jurors all have children that have
01:03
had injuries
01:04
in sports and they understand what the
01:06
concussion protocol is all about now
01:08
they understand how how different things
01:11
are now than they were just five years ago
