Of course I decided to continue my research on Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI's) in sports, also known as concussions. The information regarding concussions really intrigues me and I love to learn about it, especially since I am a victim of two concussions in less than one year. I searched "concussion" on Technorati and only came across a handful of results. However, the most interesting was that of "Brain Injury Lawyer". The posts are posted by Bruce H. Stern, a lawyer for the firm that the blog is posted by, Stark & Stark. New posts are posted almost every two days and hyperlinks to articles or data are used quite often. This blog has been running since the beginning of 2010.

I found this blog to be incredibly interesting because it shows the law side of issues with concussions. It was also exciting to read the post regarding a bill that had just been passed which states that, "The bill requires that the state Department of Education (DOE) develop an interscholastic athletic head injury safety training program, concerning the prevention, risk and treatment of sports related concussions and other brain injuries among student athletes. " It is called the "Brain Injury Awareness Act". It is great to see what is happening legally regarding concussions, especially with the issues in the NFL. This blog also goes over the importance of helmets and safety. This blog is great because it covers everything from helmets to legal bills being passed to the causes and effects of concussions. It is full of information and the reader can learn a lot.
There is still a lot to be learned by players, parents, coaches, trainers, doctors, and the general public, in relation to concussions and the damage that can be done to someone who has suffered one to multiple concussions in their life.
