Initial Advice From Our Ottawa TBI Lawyer Team
As a leading TBI attorney in Ottawa, we recommend taking these critical steps after a brain injury:
- Seek immediate medical attention and follow all treatment plans
- Avoid discussing your accident or injuries on social media
- Do not accept any settlement offers without legal review
- Document all symptoms and how they affect your daily life
- Keep records of all medical bills and lost work time
- Take photos of visible injuries and accident scenes when possible
- Get contact information from any witnesses
- Keep a daily journal documenting your symptoms and challenges
- Save all correspondence with insurance companies
- Contact experienced Ottawa brain injury compensation attorneys promptly
Deadlines
In Ontario, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a brain injury claim. However, certain cases may have shorter deadlines, particularly if your injury involved a government entity or occurred on public property. Claims against municipalities must often be filed within 10 days. These deadlines are strictly enforced, and missing them could permanently bar you from receiving compensation. Don’t risk losing your right to compensation – contact our team immediately for a free consultation.
Gathering Evidence
Building a strong brain injury case requires extensive documentation and evidence collection. In the aftermath of a traumatic injury, gathering and preserving evidence might be the last thing on your mind – and understandably so. However, the strength of your case often depends on the quality and quantity of evidence collected. That’s why our experienced legal team steps in immediately to handle the complex process of documenting every aspect of your injury and its impact on your life.
We help collect and preserve crucial evidence including:
Accident Documentation
- Detailed police and incident reports
- Emergency response records
- Accident scene photographs and videos
- Traffic camera footage
Medical Evidence:
- Emergency room admission records
- Ambulance transport documents
- MRI and CT scan results
- Mental health assessments
- Specialist consultation reports
- Medical bills and invoices
- Prescription medication records
- Future care cost projections
Witness Information:
- Eyewitness statements and contact details
- Expert witness reports
- Medical professional statements
- Family member observations
- Accident reconstruction expert analyses
Financial Impact Documentation:
- Past and current wage statements
- Lost promotion or advancement opportunities
- Future earning capacity assessments
- Home modification costs
- Medical equipment expenses
Personal Impact Evidence:
- Daily symptom journals
- Before and after videos/photographs
- Lifestyle change documentation
- Psychological assessment reports
- Quality of life assessments
- Activity limitation logs
- Relationship impact statements
Time is often critical in evidence gathering – witnesses’ memories fade, physical evidence can disappear, and documentation may be lost or destroyed. Our team acts swiftly to preserve all available evidence, ensuring nothing crucial to your case is lost. We also guide you on how to document ongoing symptoms and challenges, creating a comprehensive record of your injury’s impact.
Evidence about specific injuries
Brain injuries can range from mild concussions to severe trauma affecting memory, cognition, and basic functions. Common conditions we see include:
- Frontal lobe damage affecting personality and decision-making
- Temporal lobe injuries impacting memory and language
- Anosmia (loss of smell and taste)
- Balance and coordination problems
- Cognitive difficulties and confusion
- Depression and emotional changes
- Speech and language impairments
- Vision problems and light sensitivity
- Chronic headaches and fatigue
- Sleep disorders
- Concentration and attention deficits
- Mood swings and behavioral changes
Recovery times vary significantly. While mild TBI symptoms may resolve in months, moderate to severe injuries often cause permanent impairment requiring lifelong care. Some patients experience delayed symptoms that worsen over time, making it crucial to have experienced legal representation that understands the long-term implications of brain injuries.
Our experienced team handles all investigation and documentation so you can concentrate on healing. We know how overwhelming this process can feel and we’re here to help.
What Can I Expect to Pay?
We work on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless we win your case. Initial consultations are always free, and we advance all costs of litigation, including:
- Medical record retrieval
- Expert witness fees
- Court filing costs
- Accident reconstruction expenses
- Medical examination costs
Our fee is a percentage of your final settlement or verdict, so you never pay out of pocket. This arrangement ensures our interests align with yours – we only succeed when you do.
