The invisible injury insurers love to minimize
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries rarely show on routine imaging, and insurers exploit that: "the CT was clear, you must be fine." Meanwhile you live with headaches, brain fog, memory gaps, light sensitivity, personality change, and fatigue that reshapes work and family life.
Proving a brain injury takes the right experts: neurologists, neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, and vocational assessors who translate symptoms into objective, documented impairment. We retain them and build that record.
Compensation must cover the whole future
A brain injury claim is valued on lifetime impact: reduced earning capacity, future care and therapy, cognitive aids, housekeeping capacity, and the profound change in enjoyment of life. Settling early, before maximum medical recovery is understood, is the costliest mistake a brain-injured claimant can make.
- Pain and suffering (general damages) for the injury itself and its effect on your life
- Lost income and lost earning capacity, past and future
- Medical and rehabilitation costs including physiotherapy, medication, and equipment
- Cost of future care for lasting injuries
- Housekeeping and loss of valuable services you can no longer perform
- Out-of-pocket expenses from mileage to childcare
Alberta Accident Law works on a full contingency basis: you pay nothing unless we win. There are no hourly rates, no retainers, and no bill if your claim does not succeed. Your case review is free, confidential, and carries no obligation, so finding out where you stand costs you nothing.
Brain injury care near Edmonton
Major trauma in Edmonton is treated at the University of Alberta Hospital, with the Royal Alexandra, Grey Nuns, and Misericordia hospitals also handling serious injuries.
Family members: document what you observe. Changes in mood, memory, and stamina noticed by the people closest to the injured person are persuasive evidence courts and insurers take seriously.
Under Alberta's Limitations Act you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to start a claim, and some situations carry much shorter notice deadlines. Evidence also degrades quickly: skid marks fade, camera footage is overwritten, and witnesses forget. Edmonton injury lawsuits are filed at the Edmonton Law Courts downtown on 97 Street, in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta. Smaller claims may proceed in the Alberta Court of Justice. The sooner we start, the stronger your position.
