BIAA
The Brain Injury Association of America has long been a leading advocate for victims of brain injury. I have been fortunate over the past few years to serve on the executive planning committee for the annual Brain Injury Conference in Las Vegas. The BIAA's mission is to educate. In that context, the BIAA offers plaintiff and defense lawyers education into the realities and truths of brain injury from both sides of the aisle, so to speak.
The conference is but one tool used by the BIAA in Creating a better future through brain injury prevention, research, education and advocacy.
Founded in 1980, the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) is the leading national organization serving and representing individuals, families and professionals who are touched by a life-altering, often devastating, traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Together with its network of more than 40 chartered state affiliates, as well as hundreds of local chapters and support groups across the country, the BIAA provides information, education and support to assist the 3.17 million Americans currently living with traumatic brain injury and their families.
Will the next conference also be held in Las Vegas? What are the dates? I'd like to attend as well as submit a presentation for consideration. Have a Happy New Year!

This tragic story is one of many and an example of how mistreated or untreated the silent epidemic of brain injury can be.
To the commentor, Fred, all I can say, is pray for strength and courage to endure. God bless you.
