Brain injuries at work are common and can have a devastating impact on an injured worker. Our workers\u2019 compensation attorneys have years of experience representing people who have suffered a brain injury and our workers\u2019 comp lawyers are familiar with the unique aspects of workers\u2019 compensation brain injury cases.<\/p>\n
As reported by the CDC<\/a>, 138 people in the United States die from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) each day. A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. A TBI can also be caused by a penetrating injury. Our workers\u2019 compensation lawyers have represented people whose brain injuries were caused by motor vehicle crashes, falls, assaults, blunt trauma and objects striking them from above. In Vermont, we see a high incidence of TBIs in the farming, logging and tree industry as well as motor vehicle accidents that occur during our Vermont winters. Unfortunately, these types of work injuries can happen in just about any job.<\/p>\n
