Recently, I received a note from a Florida college football player who sustained a career ending neck injury.  This full scholarship athlete felt his neck was injured and went to the football team trainer.  His cervical area was sore, and he was starting to have symptoms.  However, both the trainer and the coach told him to get back out on the field.  You can probably guess the rest of the story.  This athlete has had major neck surgery and will never play football again.  he still attends the university where he was injured, and he resides in a state where schools and their employees have immunities and their are severe caps on what can be recovered even in successful cases.  These lawsuits are difficult and expensive, as expert medical testimony is almost always required to establish injury, causation and standard of care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am contacted by injured and disabled athletes from all over the United States.
