Head and Brain Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries to the head and brain can have serious consequences and may include traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or other head-related trauma. These injuries can result from various workplace incidents, such as:

• Falls: Falls from heights, slips, or trips can lead to head injuries if the head makes contact with a hard surface.
• Falling Objects: Workers are at risk of head injuries if objects fall from shelves, storage areas, or other elevated positions.
• Struck by Objects: Being struck by tools, equipment, or other objects can cause significant head injuries.
• Vehicle Accidents: Workplace accidents involving vehicles can result in head injuries, especially if there’s a collision.
• Assault: Incidents of workplace violence or assault can lead to head injuries.
• Machinery Accidents: Workers using heavy machinery or equipment may be at risk of head injuries if safety precautions are not followed.

Head and brain injuries can have varying degrees of severity, ranging from concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries with long-term consequences. It’s crucial for employers to prioritize safety measures and for employees to use personal protective equipment (PPE) where required.

If a head or brain injury occurs in the workplace, seeking immediate medical attention is essential. Additionally, reporting the incident to the employer and consulting with a workers’ compensation attorney can help ensure that the injured worker receives the necessary medical treatment and adequate compensation for their injuries.

Securing Full Compensation for TBI’s:

Head injuries can result in lifelong consequences, including paralysis, nerve damage, numbness, emotional changes, memory loss, and more. In the aftermath of such injuries, you deserve the highest possible compensation. Our objective is to vigorously advocate for a settlement offer encompassing the three fundamental benefit types:

• Medical Benefits (current and future expenses)
• Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits
• Wage-Loss Benefits

Additionally, beyond wage-loss benefits, you may be eligible for either temporary or permanent total disability benefits. The determination depends on the expected duration of your injuries and their lasting impact, whether over a year or throughout a lifetime.

These injuries can result in significant costs, such as home renovations or relocation to accommodate a disability, expenses for assisted living care, and the loss of earning potential over a lifetime. When your workers’ compensation coverage is exhausted, you may be left responsible for future expenses. As your legal representation, our role is to ensure you receive compensation commensurate with the total consequences of your injuries, not just the immediate ones.
