Permanent Injuries At The Workplace
Permanent Injuries At The Workplace
There are a variety of injuries common in work accidents that can result in permanent disabilities and impairments. Such injuries can include the following:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) - Trauma to the head can result in a severe TBI, which can lead to a coma and the need for intensive care. Once a victim of a severe TBI wakes up, they will likely face many impairments, which can be cognitive, physical, and/or behavioral. Many TBI victims are never the same and cannot return to their previous jobs.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) - In some accidents, a person’s spinal cord might be completely severed or damaged, cutting off signals from the brain to the parts of the body below the point of injury. “Complete” spinal injury can result in permanent paralysis, which involves the loss of sensation and movement ability in your limbs, as well as the possible loss of organ function.
Amputation - Traumatic amputations can happen in workplace accidents, and in some situations, medical professionals might not be able to reattach the severed body part. Surgical amputations might also be needed after crush injuries or severe burns. Losing a body part will change the way you live your life, and you might need to relearn many daily tasks or activities. While there are state-of-the-art prosthetics available, they are costly and need to be regularly replaced.
