Susman Moved to Houston Rehab Facility

Three weeks after a freak and horrific accident that left him with traumatic brain injury, Texas trial lawyer Steve Susman transferred yesterday from neuro-intensive care in hospital to the nearby Memorial Hermann – TIRR rehabilitation center in Houston. 

The move came after Susman, who had been comatose for a time, became able, among other things, to respond to stimuli by uttering a word or two. He had been at Memorial Hermann – Texas Medical Center since he crashed on his bike when the front wheel caught in an expansion joint in the concrete roadway. An avid cyclist, Susman, 79, regularly takes rides of 30 miles or more casually or in organized events, including seven times on the two-day, 150-mile trek in the Bike MS: Texas MS150 to raise money for multiple sclerosis research.
