Disabled Winnipeg football player reaches settlement with Bishop’s University
A former Bishop’s University football player who became mentally and physically disabled following a severe head injury during a game has settled a lawsuit with the school.
Kevin Kwasny of Winnipeg was seeking $13.7 million in damages from Bishop’s in a lawsuit that was to go to trial Thursday in Montreal.
“Kevin and his family are pleased with the settlement,” Jamie Kagan, one of the family’s lawyers, said Thursday in a release.
“They are eager to obtain additional therapy for Kevin in an attempt to improve his condition as much as possible.”
