Understanding Concussion Injuries

Concussion injuries are a type of brain injury where the head meets with heavy impact. In addition to striking an external object, a concussion can result from the brain hitting against the interior of the skull itself. The result of such an injury can range from minor, short-term effects such as dizziness and vomiting, to trouble with speaking or the inability to concentrate, to more serious consequences such as permanent loss of memory.

At McKechnie & Company, we assist clients in Vancouver and throughout British Columbia in pursuing compensation for concussion injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents. Whether caused by a collision involving a car, motorcycle, ATV or bicycle, we possess the experience to effectively negotiate a settlement that will benefit you.

The Reality Of A Concussion Claim

Concussion injuries are challenging to diagnose and treat, and their long-term consequences difficult to predict. Often, they can be diagnosed only symptomatically, rather than by objective evidence from medical tests. Further, treatment and evaluation of such injuries can be expensive and on-going. These challenges can increase the difficulties of prosecuting a claim for concussion injury.

Our firm has an extensive history working with ICBC on personal injury cases. This knowledge provides us with insight into both the plaintiff and defendant perspectives on such cases. We use this knowledge to devise a strategy for appropriate resolution of the claim which best fits the circumstances.
