Chanel Favel

Job Titles:

Although the path to recovery after an incident is often long and challenging, Chanel continuously sees the positive impact the team at Brain & Injury Law provides to the clients and their families. As a senior paralegal, Chanel is involved in all parts of the litigation process, from first meeting a new client, to when the case is resolved at trial or through a negotiated settlement. Chanel co-ordinates the rehabilitation plan on the outset - this is often the most challenging part for clients before they retain a lawyer - and arranges appropriate treatment providers to be involved early on. She manages the progress of each case by keeping the litigation moving along; engaging with clients to ensure they understand each step of the way; and alongside the lawyers, setting up independent medical appointments to ultimately gather the necessary pieces to prove the case. It is Chanel's firm belief that the most important part of their job is to advocate and help clients through the tough patches along the way; by taking the time to listen to clients and how the incident has affected their lives, in all aspects. Chanel recalls an incredibly strong and inspirational client once telling her: "My biggest challenge after the accident was to accept who I am now, rather than expecting myself to go back to the way I was before my injury. I need to learn about the ‘new me'." Chanel wishes to remind traumatic brain injury survivors that they are not alone. There are many people and organizations with great experience and knowledge willing to help survivors and families after an incident.
