Former Titans Player Settles Workers’ Compensation Claim

Posted on Friday, June 3rd, 2011 at 6:30 pm    

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver David Givens agreed to a settlement in a workers’ compensation lawsuit he filed against the team in 2009.

Accoridng to Davidson County Chancery Court documents, Givens settled with the team for $5,115. The workers compensation claim stems from a thumb injury Givens sustained in 2006, just a month before he suffered a season ending knee injury.

The lawsuit was filed in 2009 in federal court, but was dismissed last year. Givens was seeking $25 million in workers’ compensation. He claimed the Titans withheld medical information and encouraged him to play despite bein advised that his knee condition could not withstand the strain of NFL competition.

The workers’ compensation settlement was filed with the court on Thursday.
