WWE Lawyer Jerry McDavitt Responds to Latest Concussion Lawsuit
As noted, three former WWE stars, Luther Reigns, Ryan Sekoda and Russ McCullough filed a class action concussion lawsuit against WWE today.
Jerry McDevitt, WWE’s outside counsel, spoke to TMZ about the suit and offered the following comment:
“[WWE is] being targeted by attorneys who tell them there’s hundreds of thousands of dollars they can make by joining a class action suit like this. We know these claims are fraudulent, and will fight them. [The claim is] sensational, but if you really look at…what was done specifically to them? There are almost no details as to what they actually suffered as a result of working with WWE.”
McDevitt added no WWE wrestlers have ever contacted the company, prior to filing their lawsuits, regarding any neurological issues they might have suffered as a result of their time in WWE.
