If you’ve been injured in an accident, you need an experienced brain injury lawyer in Brampton to fight for your rights.

 

 

The impact of a brain injury can be felt years after the accident occurs. Unfortunately, it’s during this time that the financial stress may begin. You may need home renovations to help cope with a permanent disability, such as needing ramps or an elevator installed in your home. You could also need modifications to the family vehicle. Years of income may be lost due to the inability to work, whether it’s permanent, temporary, or a matter of retraining for a new job. There may be long-term rehabilitation costs that aren’t covered by your corporate health insurance or ongoing medical costs, like medication or medical devices. You may also need home care, help with childcare, or housekeeping or home maintenance help. After a serious brain injury, the little things you take for granted can start to seem like insurmountable obstacles.

 

If the long-term effects of your brain injury could prevent you from forming personal relationships, your lawyer may factor that into your claim since the loss of interdependent relationships can cost you money due to the loss of shared income, and sharing living expenses.

 

 

It’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. Your first priority will be recovery, so you’ll need someone to gather information, fill out paperwork, deal with insurance companies and insurance adjusters, and file any claims within designated time limits.

 

If you haven’t contacted a lawyer, you may be contacted by the insurance adjuster working for the at-fault individual’s insurance company. You should know that you’re under no obligation to talk to the insurance adjuster. In fact, it may be in your best interests not to answer any questions the adjuster has. Anything you say goes directly into your file and may be used against you at a later date, influencing your claim. It’s the job of the insurance adjuster to try and save their company money. Knowing your legal rights and getting legal advice before meeting with the adjuster helps to level the playing field. In fact, your lawyer can even handle all of the inquiries from the insurance company, asking you for information and then relaying it back to the company. Having someone who’s on your side taking care of your replies just makes sense.
