Brain Injuries FAQs

What is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force, such as a blow to the head or a sudden movement, causes damage to the brain. This can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning. TBIs range in severity and can be referred to by various medical terms, including concussion, mild TBI, and neurocognitive disorder.

What are the common symptoms of a brain injury?

Symptoms of a brain injury can vary widely and may not always appear immediately. Some common signs include headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, mood changes, and fatigue. It’s important to consult a medical professional if you suspect a brain injury, as early treatment can aid recovery.

Can I file a personal injury claim for my brain injury?

Yes, if your brain injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, such as in a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to compensation. This could cover medical costs, rehabilitation, lost wages, and other related expenses.

What compensation might I receive for a brain injury claim?

Compensation for brain injury claims typically includes medical expenses (past and future), therapy costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and additional expenses like personal care or home modifications. Each case is unique, and The Injury Law Team can assess the compensation you may be entitled to based on your circumstances.

How long do I have to file a claim for a brain injury in Alberta?

In Alberta, the general limitation period to file a personal injury claim is two years from the date of the injury. It’s recommended to consult with an injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.

Will I need to go to court for my brain injury claim?

Many brain injury claims are resolved through settlements outside of court. However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, our Injury Law Team will be prepared to represent you in court. We’ll guide you through each step, whether negotiating a settlement or proceeding to trial.
