Head and Brain Injuries
Falls, motor vehicle accidents, being struck by an object or striking one’s head against a hard surface are the leading causes of head and brain injury in America. All of these circumstances can occur while you are at work.
A blow or jolt to the head that is serious enough to cause a disruption in the function of the brain is called a traumatic brain injury or TBI. About 1.4 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury each year and 50,000 of them die, according to the Brain Injury Association of America.

If you or someone you love suffered a TBI at work, it is extremely important that he or she be evaluated by a competent brain injury specialist as soon as possible. For help getting treatment by a qualified medical professional, please contact the workers’ compensation lawyers of J. Franklin Burns, P.C.
Our attorneys represent clients who have sustained head and brain injuries in the workplace. We help them receive the full amount of workers’ compensation benefits they deserve, including payment of all necessary medical and rehabilitation expenses, and a portion of their weekly wages. A person with a brain injury may require the services of an assistant or attendant while at home or work. A brain injury victim may need a van equipped with a wheelchair lift or modifications to their home to make it wheelchair accessible.
Our workers’ compensation attorneys will pursue full compensation for all of the expenses related to your injury. In addition, we will analyze your case to identify potential sources of financial compensation in addition to workers’ compensation.
