Workers’ Comp Insurance in Virginia: Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Each year, tens of thousands of workers suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries while on the job. A TBI always requires immediate medical treatment. The sooner a brain injury is evaluated and treated, the better the prognosis for physical and mental recovery. As these injuries can manifest with a delayed onset, a worker may be more severely hurt than they initially appear. Some of the most common causes of brain injuries in the workplace include:
- Slip & fall or trip & fall accidents;
- Overexertion injuries;
- Falling objects;
- Machinery or equipment malfunctions; and
- Motor vehicle collisions.
The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act requires businesses and organizations in Virginia Beach to cover their workers with no-fault injury insurance. You are not obligated to prove that your employer was negligent in order to get access to workers’ comp benefits for a job-related concussion or TBI. An employee who suffered a brain injury at work is entitled to financial benefits for medical care and lost wages.
