Comprehensive Client Service Focused on Your Recovery
If you or a family member has suffered a serious injury to the head, from concussion to severe traumatic brain injury, contact Murphy Battista for legal and practical advice that concentrates on your overall recovery, not just your legal claims for compensation.
In motor vehicle accident cases, we work as your liaison with ICBC. We make sure that you receive the compensation you need to support your physical recovery, to obtain the best possible medical treatment, and to make up for the income loss and other expenses related to your accident. Beyond the legal and financial aspects of your ICBC injury claims, our lawyers also work closely with families to make sure that you receive proper medical support during your recovery.
Brain injury cases frequently present serious issues of fact as to the nature, extent and duration of the trauma suffered. Especially in the less severe range of traumatic brain injury, many serious symptoms can be missed in emergency treatment or understated in ICBC claim files. Certain symptoms might not emerge as problems until weeks or months after the accident and might only be identified by family members, close friends or co-workers. These symptoms include:
- Short-term memory loss
- Problems with attention and concentration
- Ability to do several things at the same time
- Ability to plan and organize
- Changes in personality, mood or temper
- Behaviour or remarks that are uncharacteristically out of place in a social or workplace situation
- Changes in energy level, sleep patterns, appetite or other daily routines
- Heightened sensitivity to light, noise or alcohol
Murphy Battista's close attention to the full range of brain injury symptoms is a significant advantage for the outcome of your brain injury claim. For many clients, the service we provide in breaking through barriers to accurate diagnosis and effective treatment is even more valuable.
