Catastrophic Workplace Injury Lawyer in Atlanta

Defining Catastrophic Injuries

Some professions pose a higher risk of personal injury than others. For example, construction is one of the more dangerous industries in the country and is a cause of numerous construction site accidents every year, many of which cause serious or permanent damage to the accident victim. Any such severe injury can be categorized as a catastrophic injury. In the event that the workplace accident was not a direct result of the employee's recklessness or negligence, he or she has every right to consult with an Atlanta workers' compensation lawyer and file a workers' compensation claim with their employer.

Types of Catastrophic Injuries

There are many different kinds of injuries that can be considered catastrophic. Burn injuries often cause permanent scarring or muscle damage on behalf of the victim, but most catastrophic injuries are a result of head and neck injuries, back injuries, or traumatic events. One example would be Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) caused by a harsh blow to the head, which can cause amnesia, loss of brain capacity, or even a coma. Another severe injury would be a spinal cord injury, which could cause partial or complete paralysis to any of the body located below the area of injury. If you have suffered any of these or another catastrophic workplace injury, speak with a lawyer right away and seek compensation before you end up paying for your expensive treatment out of pocket.
