Brain injuries affect different people in different ways. In some cases, an accident may cause a concussion, which can leave a person unable to work for a few weeks. In other cases, especially those involving brain and spinal cord injuries, paralysis, cumulative trauma injuries or psychiatric injuries, the injuries may prove to be so severe that a person will never be able to work again. That is why it is important to ensure that you receive the workers’ compensations benefits to which you are entitled. We can help you recover compensation for medical care and lost wages. In more serious cases, we will work hard to ensure that you receive temporary or permanent disability benefits.
The symptoms of a brain injury do not always make themselves apparent immediately following an accident. Sometimes, symptoms may not be noticed until days or even weeks after the accident. That is why it is important to report your workplace accident to your employer as soon as possible, even if you feel like you are okay. The sooner an accident is reported, the easier it will be to file a strong claim for workers’ comp benefits.
