Pacific Coast Brain Injury Conference

The Pacific Coast Brain Injury Conference is this weekend. It's one of the premiere brain injury conferences in the country. I am amazed at how diverse the audience is. I met a brain survivor from New Brunswick, health care providers from Ontario, service providers from the Okanagan and Seattle and a few other lawyers.

It seems that Ontario brain injury survivors are having a tough time. The province went to "no fault" insurance, but it seems to have created more problems for victims and only benefited the insurance companies (I don't mean to rant). An OT (occupational therapist) I talked with today said that she ALWAYS advises patients to get a lawyer involved early on. She said that more and more service providers are recognizing that lawyers are an important part of the recovery process because survivors have difficulty getting insurance companies to live up to their obligations.
