Brain Injuries

Concussions and other mild brain injuries can have serious effects on injury victims' lives. While the victims may appear uninjured at first, these types of brain injuries can present weeks later. Symptoms can include memory loss, confusion, dizziness, headaches, and changes in personality or behavior. Even if the person retains all physical abilities, the cognitive and emotional effects can significantly impair work and social skills.

At Knie & Shealy Law Offices, I represent workers who suffer brain injuries on the job. I can help you with your workers' compensation claim. If a negligent third party is responsible for your injury, I can file a personal injury suit for additional damages. These damages may include compensation for pain and suffering as well as other losses from the injury. For a free consultation, please contact me online.

If you suffered a concussion or mild brain injury that was not apparent immediately after the accident, you may need a lawyer's help to obtain workers' comp benefits. It can be difficult to identify the exact date of onset of the symptoms. I will make sure you get the appropriate medical tests and reports that link your injury to the accident at work. With my experience, I know what the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission wants to see.

Work-related vehicle accidents and falls at work are the most common reasons that workers suffer a brain injury. Additional causes may include industrial accidents, warehouse accidents, construction accidents, falling objects, and defective equipment or machines. Regardless of the cause, I can help you get workers' compensation.
