Sports Stars Take Hit for Awareness of Head Injuries
The article discusses the increasing awareness of head injuries in sports, particularly concussions, sparked by cases involving hockey stars like Sidney Crosby. Personal injury lawyers and medical professionals highlight the challenges of diagnosing mild and moderate brain injuries, often overlooked due to insufficient medical technology. Public figures sustaining these injuries help raise awareness, which advocates hope will lead to better research, funding, and treatment. The Ontario Brain Injury Association reports that brain injuries are a leading cause of disability among young Canadians, with personal injury lawyers pushing for more scientific study and improved prevention in sports.
Laura is also involved in the Helmets on Kids program run through the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association.
