WWE is seeking over $500,000 in Legal Fees from attorney Konstantine Kyros following a now dismissed concussion lawsuit which included several former WWE talents.
As per Law360 (via POSTWrestling), WWE is looking for $573,770.44 in legal fees after a lawsuit was made against the company, where several former in-ring talents claimed that WWE hid the risks of concussion, was dismissed a few months ago.
The company is also seeking an additional $39,844.00 in fees following the second circuit’s appeals panel’s decision.
WWE’s attorney Jerry McDevitt has released a statement regarding the matter.
He violated court orders, didn’t comply with court orders, ignored court orders that cautioned him to cease certain behavior or risk sanctions. He would continue the same kind of behavior. He plagiarized and made false allegations based on other lawsuits against the NFL, where he would just parrot allegations that had been made against the NFL or its personnel, and would just change [text], reading from ‘NFL’ to ‘WWE.’
The liability for sanctions has been established in three different court orders, that he’s supposed to pay all of our attorney’s fees in connection with various things he did wrong. The only thing left to be determined is how much that is.
Kyros is currently the only attorney still representing the plaintiffs, after the other attorneys withdrew as counsel.
