Recoverable Damages in an Edmonton TBI Case
Our Edmonton personal injury lawyers will help injury victims rebuild their lives after devastating TBI injuries. Extensive care for TBIs almost guarantees that patients will be facing large medical bills due to these injuries’ costs and how long they last.
Our brain injury lawyers serving Edmonton, will review your situation to determine your damages and how much you can seek in compensation for your personal injury case.
We will collect evidence to prove the financial costs of your TBI and assign values to those non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.

Your damages could include:
-
Medical expenses and cost of future care:
All the medical care you have received and will need for your traumatic brain injury would fall under this category. This includes post-accident emergency and ongoing care, medications, medical devices, rehabilitation services, modifications to your home, and more. -
Lost income, benefits, and/or reduced future earning ability:
You were likely forced to take considerable time away from work with your recovery, which could have reduced your earnings. You could have depleted your vacation benefits and lost wages, or your injury could mean you will never work in the same job again. -
Temporary or permanent disability:
You could recover the costs of any mental or physical impairments you have suffered because of another’s negligence.
-
Mental anguish or emotional distress:
Traumatic brain injuries cause many kinds of disturbances that are invisible to the
eye. You could seek compensation for any therapy or counselling you need to deal
with the aftermath of the accident. -
Pain and suffering:
Your injuries can cause physical or mental discomfort, which are compensable and which our lawyers will pursue. -
Loss of housekeeping ability:
The negative impact of a TBI on your ability to perform your housekeeping and yardwork is compensable.

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury can occur due to a variety of accidents. Many TBI cases we handle include:
Unidentified TBI and Old Head Injuries
Some mild traumatic brain injuries or concussion symptoms may appear right away, while others may not show up until hours or even days after an accident. When symptoms don’t appear immediately after a head injury, people may not connect their symptoms to the accident in which they were injured.
Medical experts have found that many people who experience symptoms such as poor memory, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems are unaware they are suffering from symptoms of an “unidentified” TBI from past head trauma for which they never got checked out by a medical professional.
How a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Can Help
We know it is overwhelming to think about taking on a legal case when you’ve suffered a traumatic brain injury. Dealing with a TBI means you may not have the time or the energy to negotiate with an insurance company, fill out case paperwork, and follow up on phone calls.
When you hire one of our traumatic brain injury lawyers at MNH Injury Lawyers serving Edmonton, we will take care of your entire personal injury claim so you can focus on your recovery.
You can focus on healing while we:
- Represent you in all legal proceedings
-

- Negotiate with the liable party’s insurance company to seek a settlement for you
- File your insurance claim or civil lawsuit
-
Gather expert testimony from third-party medical professionals who can offer
opinions that support your case for damages - Take your case to mediation or trial if a fair settlement is unreachable

TBI Complications Can Last a Lifetime
Two percent of Canada’s population lives with a TBI, according to Brain Injury Canada. At least 18,000 people in the country receive hospital treatment for TBIs every year. Traumatic brain injuries can happen to anyone, but individuals may not always know when they’ve suffered one. Generally, they occur when a person suffers a blow, bump, or other action to the head. There are many ways this can happen.
A brain injury can result when an object hits a person’s skull or if their head strikes a hard surface, such as when a person falls onto a floor. The result could range from a concussion to a severe brain injury.
Motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, slip and fall or trip and fall accidents, violence, falling debris, and more can cause TBIs. Non-traumatic brain injuries can happen from a medical event, such as a stroke or heart attack.
A Wide Range of Outcomes Occur with Traumatic Brain Injuries
Some TBIs are mild, and in those cases, some patients fully recover. In other cases, moderate-to-severe TBIs can affect patients for a long time and cause permanent complications. Some of these complications make it difficult or impossible for the patient to do things on their own. Caregivers are usually needed at this point to help them with everyday needs.
A person with a TBI can experience many complications affecting their wellbeing.
These include:
- Continued physical impairment, such as headaches, light sensitivity, seizures, nausea, and dizziness (vertigo)
- Temporary-to-permanent paralysis
- Nerve damage, including in the facial muscles
- Impaired sense of smell, taste, and hearing
- Trouble with thinking, focusing, making decisions, or multitasking
- Speech and language problems
- Mental health disturbances (e.g., anxiety, depression, and anger)
- Sleep issues (e.g., insomnia)
- Increased social isolation, strained relationships
The costs of a TBI extend far beyond the financial; they affect other areas of your
life that can make daily living challenging for you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
We often receive questions about personal injury cases and how the legal process concerning them works. We answer a few of those questions here, but feel free to call us for clarification on anything you read below or if you have a question that is not addressed here.
Each personal injury case has a different timeline, so it’s challenging to give a specific date or range of dates for when your case will wrap up. The evidence-gathering or investigation process, the severity of your injuries, and how long your recovery is are all among the issues that can add to your case’s timeline.
We will look at all the circumstances and developments involved to give us and you a better idea of when to expect a settlement. That said, our focus at MNH Injury Lawyers is to move your matter along as expeditiously as we can. We see no benefit to our clients in sitting on claims without moving them along if the evidence does not warrant it.
