          Causes of Brain Injury

 

Common causes of brain injuries include car accidents, assaults, and slip and falls. Severe traumatic brain injuries are often caused by motor vehicles striking cyclists, pedestrians, motorcycle crashes, or individuals operating an E-bike. We also have extensive experience successfully advocating for clients who suffered traumatic brain injuries in a variety of unusual scenarios.

Car Accident Brain Injury Lawyers

 

Motor Vehicle Accidents are one of the most common causes of brain injuries and concussions. Our personal injury law firm has successfully settled many traumatic brain injury cases involving car crashes. Additionally, our lawyers have successfully litigated these cases at trial. While trials rarely occur in personal injury cases, insurance companies closely monitor which personal injury lawyers have successfully attended trial on similar cases.  

 

Our brain injury attorneys were involved in the trial of Graul v. Kansal (2022 ONSC 1958). In that case, Mr. Graul was involved in a car crash where he suffered a concussion which prevented him from returning to work. The Defendant insurance company offered $350,000 prior to trial to settle the case. After a hard-fought five week trial, the Court awarded Mr. Graul $2,400,000, plus his legal costs in the amount of $1,800,000.

 

We were also involved in Legree v. Origlieri (2021 ONSC 7650), where the Defendant insurance company offered just $1,200 prior to trial to a woman who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) in a car accident. After a hotly contested two week trial, the Court ordered the Defendant’s car insurance company to pay Ms. Legree approximately $210,000 plus her legal costs.

 

Our successful car accident brain injury trial record and experience assisting clients navigating the medical system enables us to help our clients obtain excellent compensation while supporting their path to recovery

Slip and Fall Brain Injury Lawyers

 

Slip and falls, falls from a ladder, falls from a bed, and other falls are common causes of traumatic brain injuries, particularly in senior citizens. Depending on the precise circumstances, there may be compensation available. If you are unsure if you have a case, don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.

 

 

  Assault Brain Injury Lawyers

 

We often assist clients who have suffered a brain injury caused by assault. Often in these cases, there is another party in addition to the assailant who bears some legal responsibility. In Ontario, if a party is even 1% at fault, then they are jointly and severally liable for the damages sustained by the victim. This “1% rule” is important in assault cases where the perpetrator often has no personal assets.

 

By way of example, our assault brain injury lawyers represented a brain injury victim in the case of Pastink et al v. 1190393 Ontario Limited et al. (2023 ONSC 6037). In this case, our client suffered a brain injury after he was assaulted outside of a bar. The lawsuit named both the assailant, as well as the bar for improper security. The bar’s insurance company brought a motion for a mini-trial, claiming they had no fault for the incident. The motion was unsuccessful, and the insurance company subsequently settled with Mr. Pastink.

   Bicycle Brain Injury Lawyers

​

Unfortunately, many of the individuals we represent in catastrophic brain injury cases were struck while bicycling or operating an e-bike. Victims of catastrophic brain injuries often require a team of rehabilitation professionals assisting with their recovery and day to day activities as soon they leave the hospital. It’s important for individuals or loved ones in these situations to retain a bicycle concussion lawyer who possesses experience implementing treatment teams and working with insurance companies to enable victims to receive timely and appropriate care.

 

We have also represented cyclists involved in many unusual cases. In one such case, our client’s bicycle simply fell apart while she was cycling, causing her to suffer a concussion. We retained engineers who performed a forensic examination of the bicycle. The examination revealed that the mechanic’s shop maintaining the bicycle had insufficiently tightened the screws on the bicycle causing them to loosen slowly over time before failing apart entirely.

 

If you are unsure whether you have a case where compensation may be available, don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation.

​

 Motorcycle Brain Injury Lawyers

 

Motorcyclists enjoy the speed of transportation of cars without the protection of thousands of pounds of metal surrounding them. Additionally, the smaller size of motorcycles render them less apparent to drivers, especially when those drivers are not paying proper attention. These facts unfortunately combine to make catastrophic motorcycle brain injuries far too common.

 

We often retain engineering experts in catastrophic brain injury cases involving motorcycles to prove that the other driver was at fault for the crash. Experience working with engineering experts is often important in these cases as fault for the accident can be heavily contested by the insurance company.
