Medical Malpractice Can Happen
As Canadians, we share faith in our exceptional healthcare system, placing our trust in the competence, professionalism, and ethical conduct of our physicians and healthcare practitioners.

The Importance of Understanding the Potential Health Impacts of a TBI Injury
When you have suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident, it is often difficult to identify the full impact it will have on your long-term functional recovery. Symptoms and deficits can continue to manifest or evolve for months after the collision or might remain undetected until you attempt to resume work or other activities. Because mild TBIs (often called concussions) can occur without obvious or direct head trauma, and the resulting impairments are often more subtle, they are particularly challenging to diagnose and treat promptly. Without an accurate understanding of the nature and extent of your brain injury impairments, your treatment providers cannot effectively manage your rehabilitation for optimal recovery. Regardless of the severity of the initial injury, the devastating effects of a TBI can be long-lasting or permanent, especially if left untreated. The following outline will help you understand the potential scope of the impairments you could experience after a TBI, so that you can report new or changing symptoms and raise concerns with your treating professionals.

Determining Catastrophic Impairment for Spinal Cord Injury Victims
Spinal cord injuries are among the most serious a person can suffer in a car accident and can cause life-altering impairments including paraplegia or tetraplegia. The victim receives extensive treatment, attendant care and other assistance during their recovery. Despite this assistance, however, many will experience permanent functional losses requiring ongoing support. In complex cases like these, the victim’s standard insurance coverage is usually inadequate and runs out early in their recovery. The auto insurer will only continue to provide funding if the victim’s spinal cord injury qualifies as a catastrophic impairment according to the criteria set out in the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS).
