Brain injury symptoms often do not appear right away. When they do appear, the worker may not even know that he or she has suffered a brain injury. Any worker or family member who suspects an employee has suffered a work related injury should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Delay can hurt the person’s chances for getting better and may even cause harm.
Patients with brain injuries will often incur the following expenses:
- Doctor visits
- Hospital stays if surgery or emergency room care is required.
- All types of therapies may be required. These therapies include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and more. These therapies can last months, years or even a lifetime.
- Psychiatric or psychological help for behavioral and/or memory issues
- Home health care
