Sometimes the most severe and debilitating work related injuries are the ones you cannot see. Brain Injuries at work such as closed head trauma is one such injury. Closed head injuries at work are often are accompanied by headaches, dizziness, memory loss, confusion, and difficulty speaking. Brain injuries at work can happen in many different ways. They can result from a fall, such as a fall through a roof or ceiling, from a scaffold or downstairs. You may have sustained your work injury after being struck by a falling object or when equipment has failed, i.e. scaffolding or shelving collapse. Brain damage is not always apparent at first. Therefore, it is critical to report any accident involving a head injury to the employer immediately. It is also imperative to have the right doctors – neurologists and other specialists – examine you to diagnose the extent of your head injury.
