Brain Injury & Head Trauma

Traumatic brain injuries are one of the most dangerous and frightening injuries a worker can experience. Also known as head trauma, an intracranial injury, or simply a head injury, brain injuries occur with a sudden trauma, such as a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury. The most well-known form of head injury is a concussion, but there are many other types.

     Symptoms of a Brain Injury
The symptoms of a brain injury may be mild, moderate, or severe, depending upon the extent of the damage to the brain. At times, an individual may appear healthy, but may in fact have suffered a concussion or other more serious and potentially disabling injury. As a result of a brain injury, individuals may have vision problems, have cognitive (thinking) difficulties, or their ability to walk or talk may be effected. When a brain injury occurs on the job, a worker is entitled to workman's comp benefits.

If you are suffering from a work-related head or brain injury, regardless of who is at fault, you need an attorney who is familiar with these conditions and has represented numerous workers who have suffered from them. Brain injuries are often complex, and may require expert testimony from neurologists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other experts.
Employers and insurance companies frequently fight these claims, because they know how serious and long-lasting these injuries often are.
