Have You Sustained a Head Injury at Work?
Some of the worst work injuries we see representing injured workers in New York involve head injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These can involve a concussion with or without loss of consciousness and result in post-concussion syndrome. Most mild TBI's resolve in a few months, but some can cause symptoms that can linger for years or even become permanent.
Work-related head injuries cause a difficult situation for the injured worker because the symptoms can include memory loss, cognitive impairment, vision changes, head aches, as well as other symptoms that can make activities of daily living challenging, let alone returning to work.
"I recently had the pleasure of working with MCV Law, and I couldn't be more pleased with their exceptional service. From the very start, their team demonstrated a genuine concern and commitment to my case. Communication was clear and timely, and I felt well-informed and supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of legal representation."
