Traumatic Brain Injuries in the Workplace
Many jobs require workers to place themselves in dangerous situations where there exists a risk of serious injury or death. Accidents that result in injuries to the head or the spine can permanently disable a worker and may prevent him or her from being able to continue to work in their chosen field. Depending on the circumstances, a traumatic brain injury can cause a concussion, a loss of consciousness, or worse.
If you or your loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury on the job, you are likely entitled to file a claim seeking workers’ compensation benefits. For assistance with your filing or to appeal a denial, contact the experienced Philadelphia workers’ compensation lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511 today.

The following provides a list of injuries that can be classified as traumatic brain injuries:
- Skull fractures
- Hematomas

If a worker loses consciousness, has seizures, or is unable to maintain normal motor functioning, then it is somewhat likely that he or she sustained injuries to the head.
