LEGAL AID FOR NEW YORK HEAD INJURY VICTIMS

Head injuries in the New York construction industry are commonly caused by falls from heights.

Many New York construction workers wear hard hats in order to prevent head injuries. Despite this safety precaution, construction workers are vulnerable to several types of serious head injuries, including concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and closed-head injuries. Concussions are caused by a blow to the head and result in a temporary loss of awareness. While most people fully recover from concussions within a few hours to a few weeks, repeated concussions or a severe concussion may require surgery or cause problems with movement, learning, or speaking. Traumatic brain injury, also known as TBI, occurs when sudden a trauma causes damage to the brain. Depending on the severity of the injury, TBI can cause problems with cognition, sensory processing, and communication, as well as changes in behavior and personality. Closed-head injuries occur when the head sustains a blunt force by striking against an object. They are relatively common in the construction industry, often resulting from falling objects or falls from heights.
