Suffer a Brain Injury at Work?

Brain injury is a scary prospect. The brain is as fragile as it is important. Damage to the brain can lead to any number of debilitating symptoms, from nausea and fatigue to loss of bodily function, amnesia, reduced cognitive functioning, personality changes, coma, and even death. Even a minor concussion can affect your ability to work and live for several days, while a more serious brain injury can affect you for the rest of your life.
If you suffered a brain injury at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. A zealous workers’ compensation attorney at Invictus Law, P.C. is ready to help you get the benefits you are owed after a workplace brain injury. We will investigate the circumstances surrounding your injury, gather evidence for your workers’ comp claims, and fight for your right to recover comprehensive compensation for the damage you have endured.
What Leads to Workplace Brain Injuries?
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can occur in the workplace in any number of ways. When a person suffers a blow to the head, their brain can rattle around inside the skull and suffer bruising, nerve damage, bleeding, and other problems. Any event in which a person’s head is struck by an object, including the ground, can lead to TBI. Brain injury can also occur when a person is struck ill as a result of exposure to a toxic chemical or other contaminant.
At Invictus Law, we help workers suffering from a brain injury after any type of workplace accident. So long as you were injured at work or while performing a workplace duty, you have the right to seek workers’ comp benefits. We can help.
