According to the lawsuit, Feldman alleges that the safety harness was a thin nylon piece that could only support kids and not adults like Feldman. Feldman states that he was not told he and other adults could not use the zipline due to weight restrictions.  When Feldman attempted to use the zipline, the line broke and he ended up jumping from the tower and slammed to the ground 25 feet below. He was in coma for a week with a traumatic brain injury, respiratory failure and a collapsed lung.  Feldman has filed a law suit against the Boy Scouts as their safety preparations were insufficient to allow people like Feldman to use the zipline.

We hope that Feldman recovers from his injuries.  Traumatic brain injuries can have very long-lasting and devastating effects.  We hope that the lawsuit brings out the facts and that Feldman receives the compensation he deserves.

The victim was riding her cycle when she was hit by a 2004 Infiniti sedan. She was northbound on Genesee when the westbound driver slammed into her causing severe head trauma. The victim was taken to the hospital. Her injuries are said to be non life threatening.

Our office wishes a quick recovery to the injured woman. We hope and pray that she heals completely and comes out of this accident totally recuperated. Cyclists must make it a point to wear helmets. That is the least amount of safety measure a cyclist can take.  Keep in mind that anyone who suffers a severe head injury risks the chance of brain injury which includes long term symptoms that can affect the victim for the rest of their life.

The injured pilot was hang gliding and was probably looking for a place to land when he suddenly crashed down 30 feet to the ground and hit the walkway of the school. The crash caused him to suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and he was taken to John Muir Medical Center. The man, who has not yet been identified, was believed to have taken off from Mount Diablo.

Our office wishes the pilot a quick recovery. We also hope that the investigation gets finished soon. Brain injury is a very serious issue and anyone who indulges in sports like hang gliding should wear a safety helmet and take any precaution to eliminate or minimize major head trauma.  It is also a good idea to always partake in adventure sports with a buddy so that if one of you becomes injured, the other can most likely help their injured partner.

The 27-year old ex-Husker tight end was skateboarding down a hill when he fell and hit his head. Tomerlin was not wearing any safety equipment, like a helmet, which might have had prevented such a tragic outcome.

Our office offers our deepest condolences and prayers to Tomerlin’s friends and family and to the Cornhusker family for their loss.  We can understand that his loved ones must be going through a very tough period. But we feel we have to use this accident as an example to stress that wearing helmets while participating in sports like skateboarding can save one’s life. Even a simple bump in the head can prove to be fatal.

The legislation has been proposed by Leland Lee, a San Francisco and San Mateo County’s state senator. The growing number of serious head injuries in skiing and snowboarding accidents, along with rising medical costs for the long-term care of brain injury victims, is expected to lead to the passage of this bill. Along with this bill, another bill has been proposed by a Sacramento Assemblyman Dave Jones to place the responsibility and enforcement of youth ski helmets upon ski resort operators.

Thrill seeking skiers and libertarians are understandably not too excited these laws. But the fact of the matter remains that every year hundreds of people get seriously hurt with brain injuries while skiing.  In fact, actress Natasha Richardson suffered a traumatic brain injury while skiing last year when her head hit the snow on the bunny slope of an Idaho resort.  If such a benign force can result in death, maybe wearing helmets may be a good idea.  However, we are not a fan of the idea of placing responsibility, which will lead to civil liability in future lawsuits, against ski resort operators.  Such laws only restrict the number of ski resorts that will operate in California, increase insurance costs, and increase the price of lift tickets for skiers and snowboarders.
