Doug Landau uses a model of the human brain to teach kids about brain injury prevention.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Guilford Elementary School\u2019s gym was abuzz with students, parents, and siblings Wednesday after school. The rain-delayed \u201cBike Rodeo\u201d was about to start, and every Guilford \u201cGator\u201d would get a free bicycle helmet and learn about head injury prevention. Approximately 60 students and their parents gathered for this free event organized by P.E. teacher Mark Pankau.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brain Injury Services Case Managers Amy Choi (l), and Brooke Annessa (r), shown here with Doug Landau, fitted helmets on every Guilford Gator in attendance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doug Landau, of the Herndon law firm Abrams Landau, Ltd., kicked off the Rodeo with a presentation on brain injury. Landau told students and parents alike, \u201cyou only get one brain,\u201d as he held up models of the human skull and brain, side-by-side with a badly damaged helmet. \u201cWho do you think wins in a crash between a 4,000-pound car and a 35-pound bike?\u201d he asked. Attendees got the message that helmets must be worn each and every time they get on their bicycle, skateboard, scooter, or rollerblades.<\/p>\n

In addition to helping victims of brain trauma, bike crashes, and sports injuries, Landau has published and lectured on these subjects throughout the United States. After his presentation, Landau and his team distributed printed safety information including a \u201cbike safety contract.\u201d By signing their name, both parents and students promise to follow safety precautions \u2013 including wearing a helmet \u2013 whenever the child participates in bike-riding and similar activities.<\/p>\n

But the highlight of the afternoon for the kids was the helmet giveaway. In a partnership with the Virginia Trial Lawyers Foundation, Abrams Landau donated free helmets to all Guilford students in attendance. Affectionately referred to by Landau as \u201cPutting Lids on the Kids,\u201d this public safety program provides free helmets to children who could not otherwise afford them. Each child also received two stickers to put inside the helmet \u2013 one for the child\u2019s name and emergency contact info and one with Abrams Landau\u2019s phone number. If a child\u2019s helmet is damaged or outgrown, it will be replaced \u2013 free of charge \u2013 by the Herndon law firm.<\/p>\n

Brain Injury Services Case Managers Brooke Annessa and Amy Choi, along with Doug and Melissa Landau, fitted each child with a Bell helmet \u2013 in the color of his or her choice \u2013 and handed out tote bags for the kids to carry home their new goodies.<\/p>\n

\"Kids
The kids enjoyed the beautiful day and were happy to ride bikes — wearing their shiny new helmets!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But the day\u2019s warm temperatures and blue sky meant not a single helmet went home in a bag. Instead, just about every child jumped onto a bike \u2013 wearing a shiny new helmet \u2013 and had fun riding around the school\u2019s black top area. As P.E. teacher Pankau watched \u201chis\u201d kids enjoying their new helmets, he beamed, \u201cThat\u2019s the reward right there. Happy kids \u2013 and safe kids!\u201d Landau, nodding in agreement, added, \u201cIf we can prevent just one brain injury, then we have done our job.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you know of a school or local group who could benefit from Abrams Landau\u2019s helmet giveaway program, please email <\/a>or call the Abrams Landau<\/a> office (703-796-9555).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
