Closed Head and Brain Injuries

Closed head injuries and brain injuries, like a concussion, can be common, but they are usually subtle. The symptoms only manifest themselves in the behavioral changes of the employee after the injury.  This article has information about brain injuries that we hope you will find helpful.

Our head injury lawyers are familiar with neuropsychologists who can conduct numerous tests to get at the root of the injury. We will then fight to prove that the workplace injury caused the problem so you get the workers' compensation benefits you need.

Traumatic Head Injuries

Our law firm is also experienced when it comes to traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and head injuries such as those that result in coma, a vegetative state or brain damage. Our brain injury lawyer can help your family qualify for catastrophic benefits. We may be able to secure home care payments, even for spouses who serve as primary caregivers.

Successful Workers' Compensation Law Firm

Our firm has recovered many settlements for clients injured in construction accidents, commercial trucking accidents and other workplace accidents. Some of our successful cases include:

1. Our client sustained a terrible head injury that left him unable to care for himself. Because his wife had to spend all of her time taking care of her husband, she could not work. The family was having an extremely hard time making ends meet on his workers' compensation benefits. Jim Long succeeded in having the workers' compensation insurer pay the wife to be the home health care provider thereby relieving the financial pressure and allowing the family to stay together and in their home.
2. Our client suffered an injury to his head, which the insurance company thought was minor. He had to move back home out of state. Jim Long found a helpful and sympathetic psychologist in the client's hometown and traveled several times to take depositions. Jim Long went to court to have the client's benefits restarted and several years later went to court again in order to keep them from being stopped. Jim Long has now had the claim designated to be catastrophic.
3. Our client was over 65 years old when we sought to make her case catastrophic. The insurance company maintained that because she was receiving old age Social Security benefits she could not have a catastrophic case. Jim Long successfully argued all the way to the Georgia Court of Appeals that indeed she did have a catastrophic case.
