Brain Injury Lawyer

Though the Olympics bring years of hard work and dedication to fruition for many athletes, for some it brings serious injuries. Snowboarder, Kevin Pearce, a favorite to challenge gold medalist Shaun White in the halfpipe, sustained a traumatic brain injury during training December 31, 2009. Pearce struck his head on the lip of the halfpipe while attempting a double cork - a move he had performed several times before. Pearce continues to show improvement and currently resides at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Colorado. 

Pearce's story is just one more reminder of the serious and devastating effects brain injuries can have on athletes, no matter their skill level. You can watch a video of Pearce's story online here.
