Brain Injury

Brain and spinal injuries are complex and require special attention. Victims who appear normal sometimes suffer the most and there are often overwhelming issues for the injured person and family members to face.

Our firm has extensive experience with the complex issues in these cases and devastating consequences. We know that clients are trusting us to help them obtain the best care possible and the maximum compensation available.

Modern medicine is making good progress for treatment in this area however care, treatment and therapy are very expensive. Insurance companies will often fight against paying the necessary monies and we will protect your rights in a number of ways including:

• Ensuring the injured victim receives the proper medical and rehabilitation care.
• Retaining the appropriate medical experts.
• Obtaining expert evidence as needed from economists, settlement specialists, actuaries, medical experts, and future care cost experts.
• Determining the economic loss and long term care costs.

We strive to resolve cases through negotiation and we use mediation in the appropriate circumstances. When issues cannot be resolved through these channels, we will fight for your rights and aggressively pursue a fair solution through the courts. Our lawyers are experienced in this type of trial work and have appeared in all levels of Court on brain injury matters.

We also act only for the injured, never for ICBC. Some lawyers work for both ICBC and the injured. We work only for you to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation available.

The brain injury practice group is headed by Paul Mitchell who specializes in brain injury litigation and who has successfully represented clients throughout B.C. in multi million dollar claims. Paul is a director of Brain Trust Canada and a past director of the B.C. Brain Injury Foundation.

We can assist you. Please do not hesitate to contact one of our brain injury lawyers to schedule a no cost confidential consultation
