Traumatic Brain Injury Workers’ Compensation Lawyer
Concussions, post-concussion syndrome, and severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) often result from falls, falling objects, or on-the-job vehicle accidents. TBIs are among the most under-diagnosed workplace injuries.
Why These Cases Get Contested
Mild TBI and post-concussion syndrome are often dismissed by IME doctors who lack neurological training. We work with board-certified neurologists and neuropsychologists to document cognitive deficits and push for proper permanent-disability classifications.
Benefits You May Be Entitled To
Wage-loss benefits at roughly two-thirds of your average weekly wage, all reasonable and necessary medical care (including surgery, physical therapy, and prescription medications), permanent-disability payments for lasting impairment, and third-party recovery if the injury was caused or contributed to by someone other than your employer.
State-Specific Rules Matter
Pennsylvania uses panel providers for the first 90 days and the Impairment Rating Evaluation at 104 weeks. New Jersey’s insurer controls physician selection throughout the claim. New York allows worker choice of physician from the authorized list. Maryland allows free physician choice from day one. We handle all four.
