Play Ball? Concussion in Young Athletes on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

David Kracke says, "I have developed an expertise in understanding and utilizing the legislative process for the greater good. Two areas of my legislative work stand out: Laws requiring mandatory concussion education and return to play protocols for our young athletes, and laws requiring protection of our environment."

In 2008, David was part of the team that wrote and passed Max's Law, which along with Zach's Law in Washington, was the first law in the nation to require concussion education for high school coaches.  There is now a Max's Law equivalent in all fifty states.

In 2012, working with Dr. Jim Chesnutt and Senator Elizabeth Steiner-Hayward, David wrote what is now known as Jenna's Law.  Jenna's Law promises to reduce the incidence of SIS and to allow all young athletes in Oregon to fully recover from a concussion before returning to play.

Mr. Kracke is a member of the Board of Directors of the Oregon Concussion Awareness Management Program (OCAMP),  now sits on the advisory board of the Brain Injury Alliance of Oregon.
 
Mr. Kracke is a skilled litigator who for over twenty-four years has successfully litigated cased in the Tri-County area.  He is recognized as a leading advocate of Plaintiff's rights in the Portland area, and has been interviewed by local and national media for his opinions on various legal and policy issues. david@craignicholslaw.com
