The Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation has published a new handbook entitled the Concussion Handbook for patients and families. The new user friendly book is derived from the evidence-based standards of post-concussion care. The handbook provides patients and families with the information they need to know, after experiencing a concussion. The handbook can be used as a guide for patients and families of any age to find the right care, at the right time, from the right provider.
Doctors – please download this booklet from our site or from the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation’s website and share if with your patients. With the help of the book, your patients will be able to better understand how, what and when care should be provided, and this should streamline visits with healthcare practitioners. The Concussion handbook differs from concussion guidelines as it relates to helping someone through the journey of concussion as opposed to the actual practice of treating concussion. To learn more about this patient care resource, visit: www.concussionsontario.org or you can download the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation Handbook here: ONF-Concussion-Booklet-hamiltonlawyers.com

I was a dental hygienist that suffers from really bad scoliosis. My insurance company ignored my doc & cut my benefits off & told me I could do “something”. Matt got me CPP Disability and and LTD settlement – I don’t know what I would have done without him.
My daughter was killed by a drunk driver and it forever changed all of our lives. It seemed that for two years time stopped. This was no an easy journey. Matt let me sit in on the discovery of the driver and boy, he never let up. In the end, our grand-daughter was taken care of and we were compensated for our loss – which we then donated to a cause we believed in.
I call Matt my knight in shining armour. After I was struck by a car while cycling and permanently crippled, he fielded all communications with my especially difficult and downright nasty insurance adjuster. Every step of my care was a battle and I did not have the strength to fight alone.
I lost my leg in a terrible motorcycle accident and Matt help me recover compensation I need because I could not work and the cost of prosthetics and rehab are out of this world. I don’t know what I would have done without him.
My brother ended up paralyzed after a car accident and Lalande did SO MUCH to help get things straight from him getting out of the hospital to all his care for life. We are so grateful for Matt & Heather. I don’t know how my family could have done this without them.
