Emotional Effects of Brain Injury

Brain injuries can affect the ability to express and feel emotion and can even change the personality of the victim. Inappropriate emotional responses can make social interactions quickly turn awkward, which can lead to isolation from others.

Even when brain injury does not directly affect the emotions, losing basic cognitive abilities and coping with new disabilities takes an emotional toll.

Legal Rights of Victims Suffering from Brain Injury

The law in Toronto provides specific rights to people suffering from a brain injury. This includes the right to:

  • file for a personal injury claim
  • be represented and assisted by a legal representative when filing a claim
  • long-term disability benefits
  • settle their cases out of court

An attorney who specializes in brain injuries can advise you as to the best course of action for your particular case and guide you step by step through the process.

Why You Need a Lawyer Who Specializes in Brain Injuries

Insurance companies are for-profit entities that will try to pay the least amount of compensation possible, regardless of the extent of your injuries or their client’s responsibility. They have a team of expert legal professionals on their side that understands how to minimize victim benefits so that their company can pay the least amount of money possible.

Having an attorney who specializes in brain injury cases can greatly increase the amount of compensation that you will receive. Your attorney will be well versed in the law and legal precedents and be able to fight for your rights to get you the compensation that you need.

According to an Insurance Research Council study, self-represented plaintiffs received less than one third of the compensation that plaintiffs represented by an attorney, even after attorney’s fees were paid.

Requirements for Filing for Brain Injury Claims in Toronto

Brain injury victims are required to do the following when filing a lawsuit in Toronto:

  • Adhere to the statute of limitations in the province, which means a person should file a claim within two years of the accident
  • Accept the burden of proof when it comes to proving the veracity of the claims through the presentation of proper documentation and court-admissible evidence

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your brain injury claim, you may file for an appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada, or your attorney may file an appeal on your behalf.

Compensation for Brain Injuries in Ontario

Toronto’s legal system may award compensation for on-going medical costs, rehabilitation, loss of income and opportunity, as well as minimal compensation for pain and suffering.
Canada currently places a hard cap to the compensation. Insurance companies and legal representation of the defendant will always try to settle for less. Having an attorney experienced in brain injury on your side to fight for your rights is vital to getting the maximum compensation that you are entitled to.
