Causes of brain injury can arise from a fall, a violent act and accidents. A simple fight in a bar to a horrific car accident are all known to cause physical trauma to the brain referred to as Traumatic Brain Injury. Traumatic Brain injuries are a major cause death around the world.

On a day to day we don’t think about how our brain works. Its a very complex organ with a network of billions of nerve cells that control our ability to learn, experience, think and direct movements and emotions. An accident causing direct impact to the brain can terribly upset the makings of these nerves and could cause major disabilities in the short term and long term. There are two types of brain injuries. First type of brain injury results immediately upon impact and another yet a secondary injury to brain develops over time as alterations in nerve cells, change in blood flow to the head are slow to impact the the brain but can cause significant disabilities down the road.

Recently we had a personal injury case posted on our website where our client ( a teacher) was looking for a personal injury lawyer to help her get settlement that caused brain injury as a result of an another car rear-end her car at a speed of 20 KM / hour. At the moment of the accident she did not notice the impact but just slightly disoriented. Over the next 2 days however, she started getting headaches, unable to eat normally nor sleep well. She posted her case on Lawyer Ahead Inc. and received responses from personal injury lawyers in Toronto that felt she could indeed get compensated for possible brain injury. The litigation is on going.
