Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! Today, Eric highlights the unique challenges and considerations involved when dealing with brain injuries sustained at work. Brain injuries in a workplace setting may not always be immediately apparent. It's crucial to promptly report any suspected brain injury to your employer, failure to report promptly may jeopardize your ability to seek compensation.
Navigating the workers' compensation system for brain injuries can be challenging. Disability settlements for brain injuries in workers' compensation cases may not reflect the true extent of the injury's impact, underscoring the importance of seeking independent medical evaluation and legal representation to ensure fair compensation.

Welcome back to the Injury Law Pod! March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and it's an opportunity for us to recognize the impact that brain injuries have on many people's lives. Brain injuries can have various effects, including physical, cognitive, and emotional problems. Concussions are one of the most common types of brain injuries, and while they can range from mild to severe, any injury to the brain is significant.
Demonstrating the impact of a brain injury in legal proceedings often involves gathering evidence from witnesses who knew the injured person before and after the injury. Additionally, neuropsychological assessments can help assess cognitive function and guide treatment plans for brain injury survivors.
Remember, you only get one brain, so let's do everything we can to keep it safe and healthy.

Also shedding light on the work comp mediation process, where mediations are required before proceeding to a final hearing.
