The Legal Side of Brain Injury in Football

In this episode of Women’s Football Hub, host Carolyn Kent sits down with Steven DeBonis, a Philadelphia‑based personal injury attorney with extensive experience handling traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases. Together, they unpack one of the most urgent issues in modern sport: the legal, medical, and ethical implications of brain injury in football. From the landmark UK ruling in the Gordon McQueen case to the long history of concussion litigation in the NFL and NCAA, Steven explains how the law is evolving to address repeated head impacts, cumulative trauma, informed consent, and the responsibilities of governing bodies. They explore: What traumatic brain injury means medically vs. legally How causation is proven in court Why cumulative head impacts matter as much as concussions What youth organisations, clubs, and associations must consider How informed consent works in sport Where the future of athlete protection and liability is heading If you’re involved in football at any level player, coach, parent, club official, or policymaker this conversation offers essential insight into the risks and responsibilities shaping the game today.
