INTRODUCTION Preface Fourth EditionThe Brain Injury Association of London and Region is very proud to be able to publish this Fourth Edition of our Brain Injury Services Directory. We have become keenly aware of the benefits this compendium of services gives to patients and their families. Knowing what services are available allows for better choices. We have structured the directory to have a brief explanation of each profession or service, followed by a listing of those providing that service and their contact information. Although we have made every effort to have the most complete and current listing of appropriate individuals, we also realize that the field is dynamic and ever changing. It is the intention of the Brian Injury Association of London and Region to regularly update this directory. The information in this directory will also be available through our web site. There are many people who contributed to the directory and who deserve our gratitude.

Without their contribution, the vision of providing this directory would not have come to fruition. Thank you to all those who, with great patience, helped us clarify some of the text. Also, thank you to those who, with great kindness and patience, helped us understand when we either omitted an appropriate listing or improperly categorized a listing. Please report all additions, deletions and errors to our Executive Director Donna Thomson by phone: (519) 642-4539 or by e-mail: [email protected]

Jim Mays, Chair Services Directory Committee

WelcomeBrain injuries involving some type of blow to the head are among the most common in our society. Some 700,000 people in North America suffer traumatic head injuries each year, and between 70,000 and 90,000 are left permanently disabled. Head injuries can range from relatively minor damage to the scalp and face such as lacerations, abrasions and bruising to more serious consequences involving damage to the brain.

We are focused on constantly seeking ways to improve services to persons living with the effects of brain injury. The mission of the Brain Injury Association of London and Region is to provide support, education, advocacy and increase public awareness. With this Fourth Edition of the Brain Injury Services Directory, our continued goal is to provide a comprehensive listing of programs and services currently available within the five county catchment area we serve. We hope that the directory will be a valuable resource for survivors and family members, allowing them to have a greater sense of involvement and control.

The production of this Fourth Edition was made possible through the generous contribution of the financial support by Siskinds, The Law Firm and Jim Mays.

Legal Information No part of this publication can be reported for a commercial purpose without the prior written permission of the Brain Injury Association of London and Region (the Association). We hope that the health care professional as well as survivors and their families find this text useful and, if so, they have the association’s permission to use and copy any part of this text in any way they find helpful.

This association is not engaged in rendering medical, legal or other professional advice. If you require such advice the assistance of trained and competent professionals should be sought. Neither the Association nor the Editorial Committee has the expertise or requisite knowledge to recommend an organization or professional. There are no messages in this text, either express or implicit which could be understood to have such meaning.

The Editorial Committee has worked hard to ensure that the information provided in this text is both comprehensive and accurate. Any errors, either of omission or accuracy, ought to be reported to the Association. We do expect funding will allow further editions where such errors can be corrected.

About UsThe Brain Injury Association of London & Region began in 1982 in response to the lack of awareness and services available to those who were affected by acquired brain injury. At that time, patients were being sent home from hospital with very little to no after-care support, and family members were left to cope on their own.

Although acquired brain injury remains one of the most mislabelled, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood disabilities, the Association has taken the initiative to change this by living up to the mission statement it adopted in 1995: “We are committed to maximizing the quality of life of individuals living with the affects of acquired brain injury through: support, education, advocacy and public awareness”. The Association strives to achieve the goals of the mission statement through the provision of the following services:

Advocacy Peer Support Mentor Program Support Groups in London, Elgin, Oxford, Perth & Huron Respite Care Public Awareness Presentations Publication of Brain Injury Services Directory Quarterly Newsletter ‘The Monarch’

Annual Conference Workshops Resource Materials Interagency Networking Helmets on Kids Partnership Camp Dawn Partnership Student Internships

The Association was incorporated in 1986 and registered as a charity in 1993 and is governed by a board of twelve directors.

With only 2 paid staff members, the Association relies heavily on the over 80 volunteers who play a significant role in the provision of the programs and services offered. They are board and committee members, office help, support group leaders, fundraisers, or presenters at public events.

The Association does not receive any public funding and derives its primary income from grants, fundraising events, conferences, workshops, donations, sponsorships, golf tournament, advertising and membership fees. As well, some supporters choose to donate their marketable securities in exchange for a charitable tax receipt or bequeath a legacy in their will. The Association constantly seeks financial support to continue offering such invaluable services and resources.

Where to Find Information The Brain Injury Association of London and Region serves the Counties of Middlesex (including the City of London), Elgin, Oxford, Huron, and Perth. One of its purposes is to provide information on community services in this area to anyone who requests it. This directory provides basic contact information for a variety of organizations, government departments, and professionals in the five counties. The Association will help people seeking information by phone, e-mail, regular mail or office visit.

Other helpful sources of information include government listings (check your telephone book), websites such as thehealthline.ca, public libraries, health units and community care access centers. The Brain Injury Association of London and Region will help users of this directory locate the existing services they seek.

Through the network of Brain Injury Associations across Canada, the London Association will help in finding information from other areas.

Children and Brain Injury What makes children’s brain injury unique is the brain is still a developing brain. Some neurological deficits may not be apparent until late in adolescents. Some areas of the brain such as frontal lobes do not complete development until late in a child’s growth. Often there are no outward or obvious evidence of any deficits.

The most common, persistent and problematic issues that occur following a traumatic brain injury is learning and behavioural problems which are directly related to the injured brain.

Each child with an acquired brain injury is unique in their recovery as he or she is an individual. As a parent or caregiver, you may find that the many people who interact with your child-friends, teachers, specialists, administers, and others, aren’t as familiar with brain injury as you soon will be. Often as a parent or caregiver, you may find yourself being the educator, advocator and advocate for your child with the brain injury.

Literature on paediatric acquired brain injury suggests that some children may “grow into” their injury, as the impact of the injury to a developing brain is hard to predict, and deficits may be “unmasked” as demands and expectations increase.

Throughout this directory you will find services for children listed as ‘P’ for Paediatric. Below is additional contact information that may also be relevant for children.

Financial Assistance

How do Services get paid for?

Private Insurance Plans You might need help obtaining services and to supplement or replace your income. If you do, there are a number of different sources you should investigate.

You should first explore your own potential for benefits. If you were employed at the time you received your injury you may have extended health care benefits through a plan provided by your employer. Contact the Human Resources department or representative at your workplace to inquire. Did you purchase your own Sickness and Accident protection? Contact your insurance broker to inquire.

Were you injured in a manner which involved the use or operation of a motor vehicle, motorcycle, or snowmobile? Were you a passenger in or on such a vehicle? Were you struck by such a vehicle while walking or riding a bike? In these situations, and others, you may be entitled to receive No-Fault Automobile Accident Benefits even if you don’t have your own automobile policy, Accident benefits will provide both Income replacement benefits and benefits to cover supplementary medical and rehabilitation costs. Your first step to determine if you can access these benefits is to contact your insurance broker and report your injury. You should be given an application for Accident benefits to complete. You will need to ask your doctor and your employer to complete some parts of this form. It is often beneficial to ask a lawyer to review the application form prior to you submitting the form back to the insurance company. There are a number of elections, or decisions you might have to make while completing the application form. Understanding these elections may be helpful to you. Sometimes Insurance company representatives do not fully understand when or what benefits are available or you may not have a policy for automobile Insurance and thus not know who to contact. A lawyer will also help you in these circumstances.

Most lawyers who specialize in personal injury cases will not charge you for an initial consultation.

Often credit card companies will cover your credit card interest or even the credit card debt if you are disabled as a result of an injury. Bank loans and mortgages are also often protected while you are disabled. Contact your banker and credit card company to inquire whether you have this coverage.

Public Insurance Plans The municipal, provincial, and federal governments all provide assistance to individuals who become disabled from work due to injury or illness. There are different requirements to qualify for the different levels of benefit. You should check with a lawyer or social worker to explore fully the different forms of income assistance you may be entitled to receive.

The federal government provides the Canada Pension Plan – Disability (CPP-D). You must have paid into the plan through payroll deductions and have a disability of a defined level before you qualify. The provin-cial government also provides a disability pension, the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP). Again, there is a requirement to qualify but you do not need to have paid into the plan. Each injured worker has 15 weeks of Employment Insurance- Sick Benefits which can be obtained through application to your local EI office. Finally, if you don’t qualify for any of the above, your municipality administers assistance funds on a needs basis under the Ontario Works/ Social Assistance Program.

If you were injured while doing your job you may qualify for Workers Compensation Benefits. If you were injured while doing your job by someone else who was not doing a job, for example a car accident, you then have a choice to collect Workers Compensation benefits or Automobile Accident Benefits, A lawyer should be consulted to help you understand this decision.

You may need help funding payment for prescription medication or assistive devices; the Ministry of Health, through the Trillium Drug Program, provides assistance in obtaining such items. If you qualify for Ontario Works or ODSP, all or almost all, of your medicine costs would be covered through their Drug Benefit Program.

Public Support ProgramsIncome Replacement Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefit The Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefit is available to individuals who have made enough contributions to the Canada Pension Plan, and whose disability prevents them from working at any job on a regular basis. The disability must be long lasting or likely to result in death. The disability benefit is a monthly benefit available to qualified CPP contributors and their dependent children.


Canada Pension Plan Disability Vocational Rehabilitation Program The Canada Pension Plan Disability Vocational Rehabilitation Program offers vocational counselling, financial support for training, and job search services to recipients of Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits to help them return to work.

The Monarch - The Monarch is the quarterly newsletter of the Brain Injury Association of London & Region published since 1987. It is the prime means of communication of the Association and keeps readers informed of new and interesting brain injury related topics. Often you will see articles by professionals appear in The Monarch, along with interesting stories written by survivors and important contact information.

Health Care ProfessionalsWhat services are available while in the hospital?Hospital Emergency ServicesThe Hospital Emergency Department provides you with immediate care to stabilize your physical condition. The physicians will assess your medical condition and initiate care. They may refer you to specialists who will further review your medical needs. If you are in a smaller community hospital, the emergency physician may contact another centre to determine if your health care needs would be better met by their services. You may complete many diagnostic tests including x-rays, CT scans, blood samples, insertion of intravenous lines, and application of monitors to assist the doctors to care for you.

Family PhysiciansYour family physician is usually not involved in your care while in hospital. You may wish to continue to be involved in your care as a member of your health care team. A family member could contact your family doctor. It may be helpful to have medical summaries or discharge medical reports sent to your family physician. If you live in a rural community, your family physician may arrange further rehabilitation and contribute to your ongoing care.

Acute Hospital ServicesYou may be cared for in different areas of the hospital. Some patients require 24 hour supervision and may be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit while some may require surgery in the Operating Room, and others may be admitted for observation on a medical/surgical ward. Your physician may recommend that you be assessed by other specialist physicians. Speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers and dieticians may also be involved in your care. During this time they will have suggestions on the best ways for you to recover from your brain injury. They may recommend for you to be assessed by a rehabilitation team from a different hospital to determine if you would benefit from their program.

Hospital Social Work ServicesSocial Workers are tasked with three primary responsibilities. They will provide adjustment counselling to you and your family, they will educate you and your family with respect to understanding ABI, available community resources and they will co-ordinate and help plan your discharge. They are an invaluable resource to help you transition from your previous life to your new life.


Who can help to co-ordinate services?Understanding the provision and co-ordination of services is often a difficult task. Government qualification criteria frequently change, sometimes annually. Sometimes there is an issue as to whether or not third party coverage (usually insurance from a motor vehicle crash) is available. So your most accurate information concerning services available to you will come from a hospital based social worker, a qualified case manager and your doctor.

Who Helps You? (Health Professionals Involved in your Care) Neurologists Neurologists are board certified physicians (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Canada) whose areas of specialty are the brain, the spinal cord, the nerves and the nerve connections. Their purview overlaps with physiatry in many areas of medicine. This lends itself to collaboration and teamwork amongst the specialties leading to better care for the patient. Neurologists often deal with the acute management of acquired brain injuries, often in conjunction with neurosurgeons. They also often manage and structure the rehabilitation and long term care of their patients. Neurologists, similar to physiatrists, assess a patient and then incorporate treatments and strategies to try and improve that patients function.

Neurosurgeons Neurosurgeons are board certified physicians (Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Canada) whose areas of specialty are the brain, the spinal cord, the nerves and the nerve connections. A neurosurgeon’s major role for the brain injured population in usually in the acute phase when the patient needs to be neurologically stabilized and monitored. During this acute phase, patients often need to be neurologically stabilized and monitored. Patients often have problems such as intracranial bleeds or increased brain pressure that would sometimes necessitate intervention by a neurosurgeon.

Physiatrists The Physiatrist is a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation. A physiatrist is a medical specialist that has completed 5 years of post- medical school training and passed the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Specialty Certification. A physiatrist has specialized training in the anatomy, mechanics, complications and treatments involved in acquired brain injuries. A physiatrist would also help to coordinate

and facilitate a team (usually consisting of therapists, nursing, psychologists, and social workers) approach to management of individuals with brain injuries. The purview of their skills set would encompass the management of medical and rehabilitation issues relevant to brain injuries. Electrolyte disorders, spasticity, behavioural and psychological dysfunctions, pressure ulcers, heterotrophic ossification and pain are just a few of the problem areas that brain injured patients could suffer from that are within the expertise of a physiatrist. The physiatrist would provide leadership and medical expertise to help guide the patient, family, and team towards optimizing the patient’s function and autonomy while minimizing the overall burden of the injury.

Neuropsychologists Some psychologists obtain specialized training in neuropsychology. Neuropsychology is the study of brain-behaviour relationships. A neuropsychological assessment evaluates changes in mental abilities and personality as a result of an acquired brain injury. During an assessment you, and usually a family member, will be interviewed. You will also be asked to complete a number of questions and answer tasks on paper. The tests measure a wide range of abilities, such as attention and concentration, learning and memory, problem solving and reasoning etc. These assessments help to determine how different parts of the brain are working and identify recommendations for rehabilitation, work/school and activities of daily living.

ABI survivors are often inappropriately placed in long term care homes and psychiatric hospitals. There, without specialized treatment, any progress they achieved in rehab is usually lost.


Therapy

PhysiotherapyPhysiotherapists who work with clients with Acquired Brain Injury are members of a specialized rehabilitation team. Physiotherapists are university trained health professionals and are regulated by Ontario College of Physiotherapists. The individual receiving physiotherapy can expect to work on some of the problems they may be having with range of motion strength balance, dizziness, co-ordination, tremor or spasticity, community mobility, motor control, posture, walking and running.

The client will be asked to complete a program of various exercises and physical activities. The physiotherapist assists the client with their program, provides “hands-on” techniques, and educates the client and their family about the program.

Some questions you might consider when looking for a physiotherapist for your needs are: How many years experience do you have working with clients with Acquired Brain Injury? What specific neurological techniques do you use with clients with Acquired Brain Injury? How many clients do you see on a weekly bases that have Acquired Brain Injury?

Speech Language PathologistsCommunication is an essential part of everyday life. An acquired brain injury can suddenly alter the way a person thinks, communicates and behaves. Difficulty with thinking and communication frequently occur after an acquired brain injury. When this happens, a speech language pathologist is usually called in to work with the patient. Speech language pathologists are university educated and governed by the College of Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists of Ontario. They are part of the treatment team and are responsible for assessing and treating communication, cognitive and swallowing difficulties.

Treatment is aimed at reducing the effects of these difficulties and to identifying strategies that increase function and independence. Speech language pathologists can provide education and support to families, teachers, and employers to facilitate your recovery and adjustment.

When looking for a Speech Language Pathologist you may consider asking: Do you have any relevant additional training? Do you have specific areas of focus (for example, do they work primarily with children or community based rehabilitation or maybe voice disorders)? How much experience do you have working with individuals with Acquired Brain Injury? What can I expect in a cognitive-communication assessment and rehabilitation program?

Why are services offered by a Brain Injury Association Needed?

There is a steady increase in the number of individuals who survive an acquired brain injury (“ABI”) and who are eventually discharged to their home and community.

A significant number of ABI survivors experience long-term, life-long difficulties as a result of their ABI, which makes successful reintegration into home and community challenging.

There are relatively few community-based ABI services available to support survivors and their families, particularly in rural areas of Southwestern Ontario.

ABI research has demonstrated that better support networks are associated with better outcomes for ABI survivors.

Quality ABI support groups and respite care programs are key to providing community-based support.

Occupational TherapistsOccupational therapists are university trained health professionals who help people lead a more productive, satisfying and independent life. Occupational therapists are regulated by the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario. All practicing therapists must be registered with the College.

Following an acquired brain injury, occupational therapists assess, consult and treat clients with a view to increasing independence and function at home, work, and in the community. Your therapist works closely with you and your families to help you identify which activities are difficult for you, including physical and mental activities, physical set-up in your home, school or workplace, and available supports.

When looking for an Occupational Therapist you might consider asking: How much experience they have have working with persons with acquired brain injury? How and where the assessment and interventions take place? What the therapist does to ensure active participation in goal setting and assessment of progress toward those goals?

Support Groups - Support Groups are offered in the counties of Oxford, Elgin, Middlesex, Perth & Huron for persons living with the effects of brain injury.

Social Groups - This group offers monthly planned activities at various venues within London. The group is open to persons 18-30 years old who have sustained a brain injury and are looking for a way to connect with others in their peer group, make new friends and enjoy an evening out participating in a fun activity.

Respite Care - The program provides the family with the opportunity to return somewhat to the life before the incident occurred. With the Respite Care Program, families feel less isolated, less stressed, and they find they have more time to for the simple things that may have become neglected. They can afford the time to connect with friends and family, run simple errands, and are getting the rest they sorely need.

Annual Conference - Each year, the Brain Injury Association of London & Region holds a conference to educate professionals, survivors and family members. Between talented speakers and elaborate exhibits, guests learn tips and trends that can help them live their everyday lives. The conference also lends the opportunity for professionals to network, family members and survivors to get to know one another in a laidback, exciting environment.

Rehabilitation Therapists Rehabilitation Therapists assist you to carry out rehabilitation programs recommended by other health professionals involved in your care. They work under the supervision of those regulated health professionals that have commended these programs.

Some areas that a Rehabilitation Therapist may address include life skills retraining, cognitive retraining, school or work re-entry and community integration.

Based on your needs, rehabilitation therapy sessions may occur in the home, work, school, or community.

Some questions to consider when looking for rehabilitation therapist are: How much experience do you have working with clients with Acquired Brain Injury? Do you work with a specific company or health professional? Is there any limitation on where your services are provided?

Medical Rehabilitation ServicesOutpatient and Community Based Rehabilitation ProgramsOutpatient Rehabilitation services are available in the community. Your Physician will help you determine which services best suit your needs. Rehabilitation programs started while in hospital are typically continued after you leave, either at home or in a specialized clinic. Follow up appointments with your health care team generally occur several weeks following discharge to assess your progress in these programs.

Some of the rehabilitation programs in the community may be government funded whereas others are

privately funded, usually through an insurance policy. Your legal representative, case manager, insurance company or hospital social worker may help clarify what is available and how the service will be paid.

It has become very difficult to get sources at discharge for the OHIP/ non funded patient. Waiting lists are very long. Your social worker will help you find the right and most available fit.

Parkwood HospitalParkwood Hospital and it’s programs of brain injury rehabilitation are fully accredited by The Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation. The brain injury program is comprised of several components, each contributing to a seamless continuum of rehabilitation care for people with acquired brain injuries.

Return to Life After the HospitalTransitional / Supported Living At some point you will have to leave the hospital. Discharge plans are started as soon as you are admitted to the hospital. Your discharge plan is the plan for services you may need to allow you to live outside the hospital and continue to receive the care and treatment you need. This part of the directory will describe and list the services that may help provide care for you after your discharge.


Long-term Care When someone is first discharged from the acute-care hospital and if they continue to need nursing care they may need to go into a nursing home for a short period of time. Discuss this potential arrangement with your health care professionals before discharge from the acute-care hospital. All applications for Long Term Care facilities are coordinated by your local Community Care Access Centre.

Rehabilitation Hospital Some people will leave the acute-care hospital and go directly into Parkwood Hospital. Parkwood Hospital is a major rehabilitation hospital and is part of the St. Josephs Health Care Centre. It is the regional rehabilitation centre for all people with Acquired Brain Injuries in all Southwestern Ontario.

Assisted Living Some people, upon discharge, need help to care for themselves but not medical or nursing care. Each of the following supportive housing facilities provides the opportunity for living in a group setting or in an individual apartment setting but with the support of professional personal and home support workers.

Home CareSome people who go home directly but need help while living in their home. You may need help with daily living such as laundry, light housekeeping, meal prep or assistance to Doctor’s appointments, not to mention your rehab needs. If you have been in a hospital or a specialized rehabilitation hospital you might start living at home gradually by visiting for a couple hours, increasing overnight, and then for a weekend. Your hospital team is available to help you sort out any difficulties during this time. A team meeting with the hospital and community rehabilitation team members will help you plan the best way for you to be successful at home. Sometimes a member of your hospital rehabilitation team visits your home to determine if specialized equipment mat be useful in your home. Prior to going home you may meet community rehabilitation providers to ensure a smooth transition.

Every year, 50,000 Canadians sustain brain injuries, of which 18,000 reside in Ontario.

Post-Secondary School

What is Academic Accommodation?An academic accommodation is an alteration in the usual way in which students perform academic tasks. Parts of a task may be changed through an accommodation if the changes do not remove an essential course or program requirement.

For example, writing the exams in a course typically would be an essential course requirement; however, writing the answers to essay exam forms by hand typically would not be essential. Therefore, a student who has difficulty writing by hand because of a disability may require the use of a word processor to complete the exams.

In the example above, the use of a word processor would be an academic accommodation.

The purpose of academic accommodation is to provide students who have disabilities with the opportunity to achieve their academic potential in essentially the same tasks that other students are required to complete. Accommodation does not fundamentally alter the content of exams, the standards used to assign grades, or the requirement that students independently demonstrate their knowledge of course material.

It is the student’s responsibility to inform the College about any accommodations or academic supports that may be needed. There are bursaries available to students with disabilities, but students must apply for OSAP to be able to use them. Students do not have to take on a student loan to use the bursaries. The bursaries do not have to be repaid and can be used for any disability-related expense needed for post-secondary education.

Peer Mentoring Program - provides an alternative, and much needed form of support during both the early and later phases of adjustment in the community. Survivors and their family members can be partnered with a fellow survivor or family member who is empathetic towards their frustration because they have experienced similar situations. Mentoring takes place over a series of telephone contacts between a caring volunteer who has first-hand experience living with a particular issue and a partner that focuses on the discussion and, where possible, resolution of particular problems or issues. Mentors have been trained to:

Offer a listening ear as you sort through the effects of ABI on your life Share their experience in coping with injury Share strategies and resources that worked for them Support you while you figure out the strategies that might help you

Transportation

Getting AroundTransportation and Travel can be a challenge when living with a brain injury. While you’re in the hospital, your family can purchase a monthly parking pass at the hospital. This could save you a lot of money.

For appointments and ongoing care that may qualify for a handicapped parking permit, ask a health care professional for the proper form to request this permit.

If your doctor has told you not to drive a vehicle, you can also ask for a Para Transit application form. Para Transit is similar to a bus when you must schedule appointments to use their services. A monthly bus pass purchased at the London Transportation Commission Office (downtown) will provide you with transportation within the city. Bus schedules are also available.

If you have auto insurance, you may be eligible for a benefit that would allow you to use a taxi. This is usually pre-arranged by the insurance company. If your family has to drive you to medical appointments or therapies, and you have auto insurance, the insurance company may be able to help pay for this expense as well.

Return to DrivingFollowing a brain injury, many people have their drivers’ license medically suspended. Reinstatement of driving privileges requires a driving assessment completed by the Ministry of Transportation approved driving assessment centre. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure your safety as well as the safety of others. The assessment includes a review of medical history, assessment to determine if you are compensating for vision loss, and an assessment of cognitive, visual perceptual and physical skills needed for safe driving.

Mental HealthConcerns about mental health problems should first be discussed with a family doctor, who can refer the patient to a psychiatrist for further investigation and treatment. In case of an emergency, a person needs to go to the emergency department at the hospital, where decisions about ongoing treatment are made. Patients are not admitted directly to the regional Mental Health Centers. General information about mental health is available from several sources, primarily the Canadian Mental Health Association or Information London.

Legal ServicesLegal CompensationIn appropriate cases, a lawyer is necessary to ensure that brain injured person and their families receive fair financial compensation for their past present and future losses. A knowledgeable and experienced lawyer can also assist brain injured persons and their families with issues regarding the types of treatment available and sources of funding for the treatment and rehabilitation process. Many lawyers, while competent in other areas, may not have extensive experience and expertise to optimally assist persons with serious personal injuries. This directory provides names of a number of lawyers who have experience in providing legal advice and assistance to injured persons.

Most cases settle before going to a trial, and that is usually best for you and your family. A lawyer will not be able to tell you the dollar value of your case at the initial stages. However, in most cases the lawyer will attempt to obtain compensation for:

Pain, suffering and loss of amenity of life Financial losses and expenses including medical and rehabilitation expenses and future care costs Past and future wage loss Compensation for family members Interest and compensation for some of your legal costs

When selecting a lawyer, consider interviewing a few lawyers to ensure you feel comfortable with the lawyer and feel confident in the lawyer’s ability.

It may be helpful to ask questions to determine the following information: How many similar cases have you handled? How many cases like mine have proceeded to trial? Can I speak to a past client? How much do your services cost? Will I have to pay any fees or costs before my case is resolved?

Preliminary findings from a study on the inappropriate

placement of ABI survivors found that 44% of the prison population in Ontario also has a history of brain injury.
