What is a Brain Injury?

When the brain experiences blunt trauma or force, or severe shaking, a brain injury – often called a traumatic brain injury or TBI, can occur. The trauma results in swelling of the brain which can lead to disrupted brain function, more often referred to as “brain damage.” These injuries can be severe and lasting.

The trauma that leads to a brain injury or TBI can be the result of a variety of accidents. Not every trauma to the head will result in a brain injury. Accidents that can result in a brain injury include car accidents, slip and falls, a fall or falling objects, and other accidents.

We’ll handle every conflict, dispute, and unknown.

Impacts

The effects of brain injuries are some of the most severe. Motor skills, memory, even the personality can be affected. The injured individual’s life may completely change, along with the lives of those around them. And the financial impacts can be extensive and lifelong.

Work-Related Injuries

You’ve been injured on the job, putting your livelihood on the line. You may be unable to go back to your job, putting real stress on you and your family. Workplace injuries are especially common in industries like manufacturing and construction, but other workplaces can result in injuries too.

Make it our fight and our team will get to work doing what we do best – protecting workers like you.

You'll need a strong, experienced personal injury lawyer

Having a strong, experienced personal injury lawyer by your side is your best bet for reaching a personal injury claim decision that works in your favour – now and into the future. We step in and handle all the paperwork, negotiations, and procedures – while you focus on your recovery. We know the pain and stress you’re dealing with right now and we’ll make sure the other party knows too. And we won’t back down until you get the compensation you deserve.

When a car accident impacts your life

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you undoubtedly have many questions. You may be wondering if you have a personal injury claim and, if so, what that claim is worth. It’s important to remember that even if you think your injury is of a minor nature, it may not be. If you’ve been in a car accident and were injured, you may be entitled to benefits and compensation under the law. These benefits and compensations can cover the cost of medical treatments, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses you experience due to your injury.

When it’s your future at stake

One possible, and serious, long-term effect of an injury is inability to return to work full-time, putting the injured person under increased stress about their future and the future of their family. If you are unable to work full-time in the future, as a consequence of your injury, you may be eligible for long-term disability benefits through your employer, the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), or your own insurance company.

Injured due to the negligence of another?

In any situation involving an injury due to negligence or carelessness on the part of another, it’s crucial to retain the services of an informed, aggressive personal injury lawyer who’ll fight for the maximum compensation you’re entitled to. This is especially important when dealing with insurance adjusters. The insurance adjusters will try to settle your claim promptly and cheaply – but that may not be what’s best to cover your medical bills and expenses into the future.

You are not obligated to provide the adjuster with any information. Any claim you settle with the adjuster is final, so you will have no further recourse options against the party who caused your injury, even if new medical issues arise from your injury at a later date.

We won’t let anyone deny your pain

Unfortunately, the road to a successful long-term disability claim can have its setbacks. Instead of a cut-and-dried process, it can become a battle that puts your future in question and adds more trauma to an already terrible situation.

Pitfalls that long-term disability claimants encounter can include:

Claim Delayed

Claim Denied

Claim Cut Off

Claim Under Investigation

As occurs often in disability claims, your medical documentation may be challenged, the extent of your injuries may be contested, or an insurer may claim you’re ready to return to your work – or similar work – when in fact you’re not ready at all. Having a skilled lawyer there in these situations is crucial. Even if you haven’t encountered barriers to your disability claim yet, it’s wise to retain strong legal representation.

We know the disability claim process and we know how to defend clients when the consequences of their injuries are called into question. We’re ready to defend your right to the long-term disability benefits you deserve, and we’ll be ready to challenge anyone who disputes your pain.

If you are injured and are ready to make a long-term disability claim, make sure you aren’t put in a situation that injures you more, and indefinitely.

It’s your future at stake.

Let us fight for it.

- Kelsey Bishop
Kelsey Bishop was rear-ended by an uninsured motorist resulting in severe injuries to her shoulders, neck and back. In addition to disruption of her life and career, Kelsey found herself trying to navigate a legal battle alone. After contacting O’Dea Earle, Kelsey had a full understanding of her rights and chose us to represent her. We guided her step by step through her case and fought aggressively on her behalf. Kelsey settled her case and is now well on the way to recovery.
- Paul Kielly
Paul Kielly suffered a serious neck injury putting his life and livelihood in question. When his insurance company disputed the seriousness of his injury, Paul called us.

This changed the direction of Paul’s claim, and we secured the compensation he needed to get on with his rehabilitation and his life.
