What is a TBI?
TBI is an abbreviation for traumatic brain injury, a severe head injury that can cause life-altering physical and mental impairments.
TBIs are caused by a jarring impact that results in the brain slamming into the interior of the skull. TBIs are often sustained in accidents including:
• Automobile accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Slip-and-fall accidents
Traumatic brain injuries may be accompanied by a number of wide-ranging symptoms. Some of these symptoms may not be apparent immediately following the impact that caused the injury, but most TBI victims will suffer from multiple symptoms that may include:
• Behavior or personality changes
• Difficult with Concentration
• Memory Problems
• Blurred vision or double vision
• Dizziness
• Blood or clear fluid seeping from the nose or ears
• Loss of motor function
• Pupils that do not react to light or are different in size
• Respiratory problems
• Nausea or vomiting
• Seizures
• Tingling or numbness in the extremities
Although the effects of some TBIs are temporary, many traumatic brain injuries can result in death or the need for long-term medical care. If you or a family member suffered a TBI in an accident that was the caused by the negligence of another, the British Columbia injury lawyers at Stephens & Holman may be able to help you recover fair financial compensation for your resulting medical costs and other damages.

What is Occupier’s Liability?
There are laws that require property owners or operators to maintain reasonably safe premises or to sufficiently warn of any obstacles or other dangerous conditions.
If a person is injured on another’s property due to negligent maintenance or failure to warn of potential hazards, that individual may seek financial compensation through an occupier’s liability case. The British Columbia occupier’s liability lawyers at Stephens & Holman have more than two decades of success helping those injured on dangerous premises recover the money they need and peace of mind they deserve.
Occupier’s liability cases often stem from slip-and-fall accidents. There are a number of factors that can contribute to dangerous premises and result in injury accidents, including:
• Slippery conditions
• Insufficient lighting
• Broken stairs
• Unsafe walkways
• Inadequate security
If you suffered an injury on someone else’s property that you believe was caused by dangerous premises, it’s important to contact the British Columbia occupier’s liability lawyers at Stephens & Holman as soon as possible. Occupier’s liability cases can be especially complex, because it must be established that the property owner or operator either created an unsafe condition, knew about and ignored hazardous conditions, or should have recognized perilous conditions and taken the necessary steps to correct them.
If you or a family member suffered an injury related to dangerous premises, please contact Stephens & Holman for your free, no-obligation consultation. Our occupier’s liability lawyers are proud to serve clients from Vancouver and throughout British Columbia.
