Federal Judge Appoints Silverman Thompson as Co-Lead Class Counsel in NHL Concussion Injury Litigation

The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, has appointed Silverman Thompson as Co-Lead Class Counsel in the matter of In Re: National Hockey League Players’ Concussion Injury Litigation. Silverman Thompson lawyers filed the first Complaint of its kind against the NHL in November of 2013 in federal court in Washington, D.C. After several other law firms filed a similar action months later, the matter was removed to the Multi-District Litigation Panel and reassigned to the District of Minnesota.
