The Most Important Organ BRAIN INJURIES AT WORK
As any football fan can attest, traumatic brain injuries are serious, damaging events. You don’t need to be a professional athlete, though, to suffer a brain injury at work. If you suspect that you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury at work, you must take action immediately. If you have even the slightest inkling that something may be wrong with your brain, here’s the rule of thumb: Assume an injury until a medical professional proves otherwise. Your brain is irreplaceable, and time is of the essence. The most important reason to seek medical attention is, of course, to ensure you get the best possible care and treatment. And if you do have a physical brain injury, you can qualify to receive maximum workers’ compensation benefits. In South Carolina, to qualify for these benefits, your injury must be severe, permanent, and physical. By law, severe means your doctor has determined that your injury is such that returning to work is impossible. For an injury to be considered permanent, it must be medically proven that you will never fully recover. Physical damage is the most complicated facet of this definition, and there are three ways it can be demonstrated. The first is through an MRI or CT scan. The second is a test of cognitive behavior, which assesses the
normalcy of your cognitive process and level of function. The final way is neuropsychological testing, a psychological examination which gauges your level of brain function. If you feel you suffered a brain injury at work, your first call should be to your supervisor to get you a doctor. Only an experienced medical professional can diagnose your condition. Your second call should be to a lawyer who can make sure you get the maximum possible benefits, which can include lifetime brain-related medical care and disability pay for life.
