Traumatic Brain Injury
N/AOUTCOME: Resolved claim for $120,000
A Union Electrician was hit in the head by a large cable, resulting in a number of injuries- including ongoing vertigo and a facial scar. Our client was fortunate that his employer treated him fairly, ... by immediately making modified duty work available to him. This client came to me, just to make sure that his claim was being handled properly. He also wasn't entirely happy with the doctor he was treating with for his head injury. I discovered that although the employer had made alternate work available to him, there was a disconnect with the insurance carrier and he wasn't receiving ongoing partial disability benefits. The client was also unaware that he was entitled to additional compensation, due to the facial scar. I referred him to a neurologist, and he was able to get physical therapy tailored to his condition. I also resolved his Workers' Compensation claim for $120,000.
