Injury claims by professional football players

Since 1990 nearly 5,000 play­ers from the NFL and oth­er pro foot­ball leagues have filed work­ers’ com­pens­a­tion claims in Cali­for­nia al­leging acute in­jur­ies, such as broken bones, as well as cu­mu­lat­ive in­jur­ies in­curred over time. Cu­mu­lat­ive fil­ings, most in­volving head or brain trauma, have in­creased markedly since 2006.

The sort­able table be­low can be searched by play­er or team name. Spe­cif­ic claim in­form­a­tion can be found in the De­tail column.

Names may ap­pear more than once be­cause play­ers of­ten make mul­tiple claims.
