Workplace Dangers: Traumatic Brain Injury

Any workplace injury can be difficult to cope with as the physical effects of the injury interfere with one’s ability to work, or even to perform some of the most basic non-occupational functions. Some injuries can create emotional scars and tensions that adversely impact a worker’s family life and the financial toll can quickly deplete savings and interfere with the ability to meet ongoing financial obligations. No injuries, perhaps, are capable of rivaling the scope of difficulty brought by a traumatic brain injury. Any blow to the head has the potential to do significant and lasting damage to the brain.

If you or your loved one has sustained a traumatic brain injury in the workplace, then it is vitally important that you receive the workers’ compensation benefits to which you are entitled. These can cover the costs of medical care, ongoing treatment, and wages lost due to missed time at work or inability to work.

Effects of Brain Injury

The brain is responsible for performing a number of the body’s most essential tasks. It stores information and experiences, evaluates the signals received through the nervous system to guide reactions to environmental factors like heat and other dangers, and it regulates body heat. Some common effects of brain injury include:

• Memory Loss
• Personality Changes
• Cognitive Impairment
• Compromised Motor Control
• Death
