How to File for Workers’ Compensation After a Brain Injury at Work
Victims who have suffered a traumatic brain injury on the job face very specific challenges within the workers’ compensation system. No matter how small an incident may seem in the moment, or to other witnesses, it can present later as a serious injury. Workers’ compensation insurance will require extensive examination and documentation, not to mention the countless hours of time spent communicating with representatives. It pays to have an experienced Los Angeles workplace brain injury lawyer by your side in such a hectic time. Our team can help relieve the stress, so you can focus on recovering and adjusting to the changes in your body and brain.
STEPS TO TAKE AFTER A BRAIN INJURY
If you were injured at work, even just a “little bump on the head,” you need to take steps to protect yourself. A small injury can be much larger under the surface, especially when it comes to the brain. You can take the following steps to protect yourself:
Report the injury as soon as it happens, no matter how small.
Visit a workers’ compensation doctor or notify your personal doctor that this is a workers’ comp visit so the proper paperwork can be completed.
Request that a friend or family member help you with recording and documenting everything (brain injuries can result in loss of memory, compromised judgement, changes in mood, etc.).
Consult with a workplace brain injury attorney from our Los Angeles team at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP to make sure you have the legal protection you need.
