Richard H. Adler, Attorney, was an invited speaker by the Brain Injury Association of America at their State Affiliate Conference on December 1, 2010 in Dearborn, Michigan.  Speaking to a packed room of state directors and other officials, Richard presented on the initiatives, support, and resources to pass Washington’s Lystedt Law in other states and discussed the recent collaboration with the National Football League.  Currently over 10 states have passed Lystedt-type legislation.  As a result of this presentation legislative drives have begun in earnest Florida, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, California, Wyoming, Utah, and New York.  Other states are likely to kick off their campaigns in 2011.
