| Brain Injuries Lawyer Toronto |
| A traumatic brain injury is sudden physical damage to the brain. A brain injury most often results when there is a blow to the head in a car accident or fall. Closed head injuries can occur without direct penetration of the skull or external trauma when the brain undergoes severe forward or backward shaking or twisting forces, such as those experienced in a car crash. The physical, behavioural, and mental changes associated with a brain injury are dependent upon which areas of the brain are injured and the extent of the damage caused. As with most types of serious injuries, the first 12 to 18 months following injury are crucial for maximizing recovery. For this reason, we make every effort to secure early financing from the appropriate insurer for cognitive remediation programs in addition to attendant care and other medical and rehabilitative needs. We understand the subtleties of mild, moderate, and serious brain injuries and the ramifications of all kinds of brain injuries to the injured person and to their family. We are committed to ensuring that our clients are fully and fairly compensated for all aspects of their injury, including potential difficulties which may not arise for years and years after the injury was sustained. In today's technologically enabled world, a traumatically brain injured person has access to a wide variety of resources to determine the location, extent and severity of brain injury. Neuropsychological testing, clinical physiologists, PET scans, SPECT scans and MRIs provide valuable information for proving a diagnosis and arriving at a prognosis for the future. Our years of experience in representing the victims of a brain injury enables us to appreciate the multitude of long-term effects that can trouble a TBI victim and how to prove the long term impact in court, if necessary. |
