Brain Injury Lawyer

Dr. Bennet Omalu, the physician who performed autopsies on the recently deceased NFL players Andrew Watters, Terry Long and Justin Strzelczyk, believes he's the first to pinpoint forensic evidence of a condition he has dubbed football-induced chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a variation of "boxer's dementia." Omalu believe symptoms of CTE include: confusion, mood disorders, slurred speech and memory loss.

Due to the increased attention being paid to the severity of the player's injuries in the NFL lately, the New Hampshire–based company Simbex is developing technology that could help prevent CTE altogether. The company is in the process of developing sensors that will be embedded into football helmets in order to scan a players brain while they're still on the field, to see if harm has been caused.
Not only can this new technology enable athletic physicians on the field to better determine when it is time for a player to come out of the game, but it will also assist in understanding what point of contact on the field caused each specific injury.
