Scott,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your injury and even worse that it was a work injury.

Work Comp claims from concussion can be difficult to get adequate benefits. There are quite a few on NT who have WC claims.

Have you even started a WC claim?
What has your employer been told about your injury?
Does he know it happened on the job?

You are likely going to need a good mTBI Work Comp attorney. Just a good WC attorney will not be good enough. Concussion injuries are tough to represent.

Are you in Fenton, MI or Fenton, MO?

Different states have different WC regulations.

I can research for a WC attorney in your state. I know what to look for.

If you employer knows you were injured on the job, he is responsible to start a claim for you. Many do not do this and it can be held against them.

You need to be prepared to fight hard. This is not like you are suing your boss. You pay these insurance premiums with your paycheck, just on the employer's side like FICA taxes the employer contributes on your behalf. You have earned your Work Comp benefits. The Work Comp insurance company pays you, not your employer.

What symptoms are you having the most trouble with?

We'll do all we can to help.

My best to you.
