A severe head injury can require weeks and months of healing. In some cases, they can result in permanent disabilities, and the victim may never work again. If you have suffered a head injury at work, a North Carolina severe head injury attorney can help you navigate the workers’ compensation claim process.
Did You Suffer a Head Injury at Work?
If you were in an accident at work that resulted in a head injury, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits that will cover your medical treatment and up to two-thirds of your lost income. Workers’ comp routinely covers injuries that occurred in the course of an employee’s job and prevents them from working. Some common workplace accidents that result in head injuries that are covered by workers’ comp include the following:
Whether you work in an industrial setting or in an office, if your head injury was caused by an accident while performing your job, a North Carolina severe head injury attorney can help you get the workers’ comp benefits you need.
Severe Head Injuries Commonly Suffered by Workers
There are a wide variety of work-related head injuries that are covered by workers’ compensation. Some of the most common severe head injuries that result in workers’ comp claims include the following:
Concussions
Skull fractures
Subdural hematomas – blood pooling within the skull
Diffuse axonal injuries where nerve tissue is torn due to the brain shifting or rotating within the skull
Brain contusions
Some accidents can unexpectedly result in head injuries. For example, a loss of oxygen to the brain can result in brain damage, even though there was no physical trauma to the head. If you have suffered a head injury at work, the best thing you can do is to contact a North Carolina severe head injury attorney as soon as possible.
How a Severe Head Injury Can Impact Your Job Performance
In recent years, we have learned more about how head injuries can carry long-term consequences. Many of these consequences can have a significant impact on your ability to do your job. Some of these consequences include the following:
Recurring headaches
Vision or hearing impairments
Difficulty concentrating
Loss of cognitive ability
Irritability and other mood disorders
Dizziness and loss of balance
Memory loss
Cognitive impairments can have an impact on just about anyone’s ability to do their job. Irritability and mood swings can also be challenging, especially if you must work with customers or clients.

“We would like to express our gratitude to you (Hunt Willis) for accepting our case. First of all, when I called this law firm, a very sweet and kind lady answered the telephone and gave me assurance by asking and going over the accident with me, while my husband was in the hospital. I felt assured I was doing the right thing for us. She was so helpful in so many ways. What a professional lady. Secondly, we are much pleased that you have settled this case with the insurance company to receive the proper amount to assist us in so many ways. My husband and I are very happy with you and the firm in handling our case. You made us have confidence in your professional and integrity along with your assistant Ms. Routh, when you both came to see us in our home, in which we saw your compassion and thoughtfulness at that time. We will never forget what you have done for us, and we thank the lord for directing me to contact this firm. I’m glad I did.”
