The family of the late NFL star Junior Seau plans to object to the proposed $765 million settlement of player concussion claims because the fund would not pay wrongful death claims to survivors. Although the players' lawsuits accused the NFL of concealing known concussion risks, there would be no blame assessed as part of the settlement, and no punitive damages for pain and suffering. ''Mr. Seau's children have their own claims for the wrong the NFL did to them. Other potential critics to the settlement reached by players' lawyers and the league are also starting to emerge - and the judge overseeing the case has herself expressed doubts the sum is big enough.
