New York NFL Disability Lawyer

Bryan Fisher is regarded by many as the preeminent expert in NCAA and NFL disability insurance coverage and claims.  He has been consulted by student and professional athletes, agents, administrators and reporters for representation and opinions on athlete disability insurance.  He has helped numerous athletes secure payment under disability policies after their claims were wrongfully denied.  His roster of disability clients includes former NCAA standouts who passed on the opportunity to play in the NFL in order to return to college to help their teams and schools win championships. These athlete clients include Morgan Breslin, Marcus Lattimore, Ciron Black, Stefan Wisnewiski, Antonio Gibson, Silas Redd Jr., Nyeem Wartman, and Kris Frost to name a few.   In many cases, their selfless decision was rewarded with a disabling injury preventing a professional career or limiting the potential of that career.   Fortunately, since October 1990, a disability insurance program has been in place for exceptional student-athletes at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) institutions in football and men’s basketball. In April 1991, the program was expanded to include exceptional student-athletes in the sport of baseball. In June 1993, exceptional student-athletes in men’s ice hockey became eligible for the program. Coverage became available for exceptional student-athletes in the sport of women’s basketball in August 1998.  However, these insurance policies rarely pay out as expected.  More often than not, the disability insurance company must be compelled to pay by an experienced and skilled disability lawyer.  Bryan Fisher is perhaps the most capable, well known and successful lawyer in this field.
