This might be a minor issue, such as a minor concussion. It can also be a much larger issue if you have global brain damage.

Everything You Need To Know About Workers’ Compensation

Workers face numerous workplace hazards on a daily basis in the U.S. Despite adequate measures taken by the employer, workers are still liable to slip-and-fall accidents which can adversely affect their livelihoods. When workers sustain workplace injuries such as cuts and bruises, the employer is obliged to compensate the affected employee for lost wages, and meet their medical and recovery costs to the letter. In most cases, an injured employee might resume their occupation upon adequate recovery. However, exposures to certain toxic materials can inadvertently contribute to occupational diseases with adverse effects on their health.
