NERVE DAMAGE
Construction workers who suffer nerve damage may become paralyzed.
Construction accidents can result in nerve damage, including compression injuries and severed nerves. When a nerve is damaged, nerve impulses are interrupted. In serious cases, the nerve body is also damaged. A severed nerve can lead to paralysis of the affected limb or a loss of sensation. Falls from scaffolding, improperly maintained equipment, and falling objects can all cause nerve damage injuries for construction workers. Symptoms of nerve damage include numbness, loss of bladder control, limited range of motion for arms and legs, and chronic pain. Your physician can diagnose nerve damage through a nerve conduction test which measures the signals coming from your brain.
