Neurological injuries may go unnoticed in the work environment, but their consequences are severe and long-lasting. At Julie O Legal, we understand the complexity of these injuries and are here to help you get the compensation you deserve.
What are neurological injuries?
Neurological injuries are damages that affect the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. They can result from workplace accidents, exposure to toxic substances, or repetitive motions that cause nerve damage. Serious accidents, such as falls or collisions with machinery, can cause severe trauma to the brain or spinal cord. Also, working with hazardous chemicals without proper protection can cause significant neurological damage. Repetitive activities, such as constant typing or using tools, can cause peripheral nerve damage and lead to conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Symptoms
Symptoms of neurological injuries can vary depending on their severity and location. Some of the most common symptoms include persistent headaches, dizziness, loss of balance, chronic pain, muscle weakness, loss of sensation in the extremities, and memory and concentration problems.
