FAQ: Professional Sports Injury, NY Jets, NY Rangers, Philadelphia Eagles

Can I afford to retain a pro sports injury lawyer?
Ned Ehrlich takes cases on a contingency-fee basis. That means if you don’t win your case, he and the law firm he represents doesn’t get paid. Lawyers are motivated to win just like professional sports players!  You have no out-of-pocket expenses. When both you and Anapol Schwartz Law Firm where Ned works signs a contract agreeing to retain them and they agree to be retained, that starts the ball rolling.

Contact Ned Ehrlich for your free consultation. Do not delay! Collective bargaining agreements have limitations.



When should I contact a professional sports injury attorney?
Sometimes players contact Attorney Ned Ehrlich when they are first injured. Mostly professional athletes contact Ehrlich when there is a problem; when wages stop; when wages get reduced; when medical bills are not getting paid; or when you the professional athlete realize that your injury is severe enough to end your career.  

What happens when professional athletes are injured?
Upon injury, athletes will receive some sort of medical attention. Collective bargaining agreements and in some circumstances, standard contracts, mandate how an injured player is treated.

Do you think there is a conflict of interests for team doctors?
Possibly, they get paid by the team and are in an enviable position with first-class perks. Rarely does a team owner or coach want to learn that one of their players is not going to be able to perform so they push their team doctors for a quick fix or a way to patch up the athlete. Although that might not be in the player’s best interest, it’s job security for the doctor.

Do you represent the teams or the players?
Ned represents players who have been injured. He is sanctioned or approved by many of the player associations like the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA-NY Jets and Philadelphia Eagles), Professional Hockey Players Association (PHPA-New York Rangers), National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA-NY Rangers), Professional Lacrosse Players Association (PLPA), Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), and the National Basketball Players Association (MBPA) to represent the players in claims against the teams for injuries they suffered while at work -- playing sports.

Do you represent sports workers compensation in PA, NJ, and NY?
Yes, these are the jurisdictions covered: Philadelphia Eagles, NY Jets, NY Yankees, New York Rangers, and Arena Football League in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. 

Why is football so violent?
Are we as a society desensitized to violence because it’s so prevalent at the movies and more so in everyday life? Apparently the roar of the crowd who has paid an astounding amount of money to even enter the stadium thrives on this kind of organized brutality akin to modern day gladiators.
