Former Player Armond Armstead Reaches Settlement With USC

ARMSTEAD

Former defensive lineman Armond Armstead has settled his medical negligence lawsuit with USC. Terms were not disclosed. Armstead said in his lawsuit he suffered heart attacks in 2011 and 2014 because USC team doctors gave him the painkiller, Toradol.

“He believes that these athletes in particular are too often in a vulnerable position, without the resources or information necessary to make informed decisions regarding the use of Toradol, especially in game day circumstances where the drug might be used to get a player on the field in spite of an injury, when more conservative medical care might be more appropriate for the long term health of the student athlete,” Armstead’s lawyer, Roger Dreyer, said in a statement.

It was believed a settlement could be worth around $11 million before an agreement was reached.

  1. I just get all choked up when a lawyer gets rich; good for him

    And I feel badly that I scold some of the SUCLAs on the blog: I don’t know why I do it because they are such upstanding young men.

    Wait, wait a minute. Why am I acting so wacko? What day is this anyway?

    • Think of the windfall for lawyers at the ruin undie run due to hearing damage from overzealous campus police!

  2. “Could be worth…” Nope. Confidential. Could be much less or much more.

  3. Klown U: guilty again. Some things don’t change. T-Bone cocktail on.
