What Types of Construction Accidents Can Lead to Brain Injuries?

The types of construction accidents that can lead to brain injuries include falls and falling objects, among others. Any incident that results in blunt force or repeated stress on the head or neck can lead to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).

Falls are common causes of TBI; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that unintentional falls are the second most significant cause of death from traumatic brain injury. If you were involved in a construction accident resulting in an injury to your brain, we can investigate your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Types of Compensation You May Be Able to Recover After a Construction Accident

Traumatic brain injuries can be especially costly to diagnose and treat. As an injured worker, you could seek compensation for the following:

• Pain and suffering for all physical and emotional injuries you have sustained and may sustain into the future, including your loss of enjoyment of life, diminished quality of life, and mental anguish
• Medical bills associated with doctor visits, trips to the emergency room, hospital stays, surgical procedures, medications, rehabilitation services, and more
• Lost wages that include past, present, and future income lost as a result of the accident
• Compensation for a worker’s death, including the cost of funeral and burial services for your loved one, loss of guidance and financial support, and more

If you were injured while you were working, you may also be able to receive benefits through New York’s workers’ compensation insurance in addition to compensation from the personal injury claim.

• Handle all communication with your employer, any involved third parties, and their insurance adjusters
• Consult with industry experts to secure expert testimony
