An attorney representing multiple ex-NFL players seeking compensation from the concussion litigation class action settlement has asked a federal court to bar the claims administrator from repeatedly auditing players' claims.
Florida attorney Patrick Tighe, who represents around 90 former players, filed a motion for “court intervention” Sunday that asked the court to bar claims administrator BrownGreer from performing more than one audit of a player's claim.
According to Tighe's motion, the claims administrator put more than 30 of his cases into a second round of audits after the claims were initially audited and then found to not be fraudulent. Forcing the claims into multiple rounds of audits, Tighe contended, goes against the broader settlement agreement, and damages his client's due process rights.
