Ontario Brain Injury Association explains that there are two types of acquired brain injury (being injuries that occur after birth):
Traumatic brain injuries, defined by the association as “damage to the brain caused by a traumatic event such as a blow to the head, a fall, a motor vehicle or sports-related injury”, are those most relevant to personal injury law. In simple terms, TBIs are caused by something outside of the body, while non-traumatic brain injuries come from within (as explained by Brain Injury Canada).
Unfortunately, TBIs can be difficult to detect and are sometimes referred to as “invisible injuries”. Often, the full impact of the injury goes unnoticed until the victim attempts to return to work or resume daily activities.
According to Brain Injury Canada, around 18,000 people are hospitalized nationwide each year due to a traumatic brain injury. The foundation also predicts that by 2031, TBIs will be among the most prevalent neurological conditions across the country.
The Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program recorded over 650,000 head injuries between April 2011 and February 2024, with almost 45% of these classified as TBIs. Moreover, a 2020 report from the Public Health Injury of Canada suggests that Emergency Department visits for TBIs are increasing.
Traumatic brain injuries are classified as being mild, moderate, or severe. The severity classification, as assessed by medical professionals using tools such as the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended, impacts various aspects, including medical treatment and legal outcomes.
Concussions are a type of mild TBI, the most common type of traumatic brain injury. However, any brain injury, even one initially described as mild, can result in a broad range of physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments. Other types of TBIs include:
Brain trauma may also lead to diverse secondary damages.
