Brain Injuries and Workers' Compensation in Georgia
Any injury that results from a workplace accident should be taken seriously. Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), however, can have more severe effects on victims than other injuries and can lead to disrupted brain function and permanent cognitive disabilities. For victims of head injuries and their families, getting compensation for medical treatment, lost wages and ongoing care is critical to maintaining healthy and financially stable lives. Unfortunately, obtaining that compensation is not always an easy and straightforward process.

Effects of a brain injury or head trauma may not always appear immediately after an accident. After any accident where any symptoms are apparent, it is important to get checked out as soon as possible.
Effects of Brain Injuries
There are many types of brain injuries and head trauma that can range in severity. Common effects of head trauma may include:
- Concussions
- Swelling and bruising of the brain
- Bleeding in the brain
- Paralysis
- Loss of brain function
- Wrongful death
Some of these symptoms may lessen over time as the brain heals, but in some cases, these symptoms could actually worsen because of the inability of the brain to adapt to the injury. Psychological and emotional problems often accompany these physical injuries and these problems can also worsen in the weeks after the initial trauma occurs.
