Common Causes of Head Injuries in the Workplace

The most common reason someone in Philadelphia suffers a head or brain injury at work is due to a fall. Another source of head injuries at work is having an item fall on your head. Those items can fall in a warehouse, or they can fall when you go into the supply closet to get a stapler. The end result is still a brain injury.  An additional major source of work-related traumatic brain injuries is car accidents. If you are running an errand for work or in what is called the course and scope of your employment, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits for the damage you have experienced.

Even what seems like a small head injury can lead to severe problems such as:

  • Concussions
  • Lost memory
  • Contusions
  • Seizures
  • Headaches
  • Coma

Frequently, head injuries don’t show their severity right away. Sometimes it can take up to several weeks before someone realizes how seriously he is injured. This is why it is crucial to report a head injury right away, and to get checked out in the hospital immediately. Don’t delay your treatment.
