In Ontario, brain injury isn’t defined in one law or statute but rather recognized and diagnosed by healthcare professionals as a medical condition. Brain injuries can arise from accidents, trauma, medical conditions or any event which affects its functionality.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are serious medical conditions that affect individuals of all ages. A TBI occurs when the brain comes in contact with its skull after suffering a head injury, with severity depending on both type and individual involved in an incident. Recent coverage in media has highlighted sports-related TBI risks; however they can affect anyone regardless of job or lifestyle considerations. Motor vehicle accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles and pedestrians as well as violent incidents including falls can all contribute to head trauma in both children and adults; subdural hematomas and brain hemorrhages (two types of brain injuries) may also arise spontaneously and should be taken seriously as potential sources.
