NFL star who suffered career-ending injury awarded millions in compensation

Former Philadelphia Eagles star Chris Maragos has received a pay-out of $43.5million after his NFL career was shortened due to improper medical care.

The former Eagles safety saw his NFL career come to a halt in 2019, when mistreatment on his injured right-knee forced him to retire prematurely. Orthopedic surgeon James Bradley and Rothman Orthopaedics were sued by Maragos after it was claimed that damage to his meniscus was ignored by specialists.

The injury occurred back in 2017, and Maragos had an MRI scan during the off-season in 2018 to diagnose the extent of his problems. Maragos never played in the NFL again after being forced to retire in 2019, and he's now seen a $43.5m settlement come his way.
