Christopher's Law was named in honor of Christopher Bryski, a college student who sustained a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 2004. Christopher remained in a persistent vegetative state for two years, and passed away in 2006. Christopher's family was left with the responsibility of managing the repayment of Christopher's private student loans, without any federally mandated protections or clearly defined obligations in the event of a student's severe injury or death.
