Injured victims and witnesses have sued Cinemark, which owns the Century 16 in Aurora where a fatal shooting took place, for failing to provide adequate security measures. Cinemark countered by saying that it had no way to anticipate this kind of massacre. A new lawsuit against the chain, however, says otherwise. Chichi and Derick Spruel survived the attack that killed 12 people and injured close to 60 more, but their friend Jesse Childress did not. In their lawsuit against Cinemark, they allege that the chain should have added security precautions because the theater is located in a dangerous area. The suit points to nearly a hundred 911 calls about emergencies, assaults, a shooting, robberies and suspicious behavior made in or around the theater between March and July of 2012. They also claim that the emergency exit Holmes allegedly used to re-enter the theater had no wiring or alarm components. These…

For the rest of January, two Colorado business moguls will match any donation to Operation TBI Freedom, a nonprofit focused on providing aid to veterans who sustained brain damage while serving their country.

He, along with Liberty Media chairman John Malone, are supporting the charity because it provides “our wounded warriors with the assistance they need to successfully return to civilian life.” Victims of traumatic brain injuries, or TBI, often have difficulty adjusting to their former lives after the injury. TBIs can drastically alter a person’s mood, memory, personality and physical capabilities. They often divide survivors’ lives in half: how they lived before the accident…

Victims of traumatic brain injuries face many hardships, including memory loss, personality shifts, paralysis, epilepsy and seizures, which can severely limit a victim’s quality of life. Recovering victims might need to take medication for the rest of their lives to prevent seizures, and they might not be able to enjoy some of their favorite activities. However, researchers at the University of Washington have found a method that may keep seizures at bay for brain injury victims. They found that cooling the brain by 2 degrees Celsius for five weeks immediately after the injury could prevent future onsets of seizures and epilepsy. “These findings demonstrate for the first time that prevention of epileptic seizures after traumatic brain injury is possible, and that epilepsy phylaxis in patients could be achieved more easily than previously thought,” said Raimondo D’Ambrosio, the study’s lead author. According to the study, severe head injury is the leading…
