TBI

Our Nebraska workers’ compensation attorneys help you get the benefits you need to recover when a traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs.

Any type of on-the-job accident has the potential to cause serious injuries. When your injuries involve bumps, blows, or jolts to the head, the damages you suffer as a result can be severe. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of death and disability for workers in Nebraska. When these injuries impact you, Andres Law Offices, PC LLO can help you get the benefits you need to recover. As experienced Nebraska workers’ compensation attorneys, we can guide you in seeking reimbursement for the medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs you incur as a result of TBI.

On-the-Job Accidents Resulting in TBI

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that more than 23,000 workers in our area suffer potentially serious on the job accidents and injuries each year. Those impacting the head and brain are often among the least obvious but most potentially severe. Even a seemingly minor bump or blow can disrupt the brain’s normal processes, resulting in traumatic brain injury (TBI).

BLS incident records indicate that construction workers, heavy equipment operators, warehouse workers, and those in the transportation industry are among those most at risk for suffering TBI. However, these types of injuries can occur in any occupation. At Andres Law Offices, PC LLO, our Nebraska workers’ compensation attorneys represent clients in claims when head and brain injuries occur as a result of the following:

• Slips, trips, and falls from heights;
• Getting struck by falling objects;
• Tool and machine malfunctions;
• Worksite pedestrian accidents;
• Collisions involving motor vehicles, trucks, forklifts, or other types of worksite equipment.
