NFL concussion settlement: how to collect?

My dad died a couple years ago. His doctors said that the strokes that killed him were likely a result of injuries he suffered in the NFL. Today there was an announcement about settlements for this kind of thing.

I have NO idea what the first step would be toward even finding out if my sisters and I would be eligible to receive any funds, even if only to cover the medical and burial bills he left behind. I’d greatly appreciate any clues or suggestions about where to look for such info.

Thanks in advance.

I would contact the NFL players union, assuming that everyone who played in the NFL is a member of the players union, and find out where you can file for any settlement due your father. Be prepared to be asked for ‘proof’ why your father should be eligible.
