Here is a head injury law firm that does WC http://www.heinlegal.com/workers-com...brain-injuries

and http://www.cmhlawfirm.com/

There are plenty in MO who do WC and TBI but I did not find any that mentioned concussion or mTBI.

I googled missouri, head injury attorney and Work comp and it appears that many personal injury attorneys also do Work Comp cases.

You will need to do some direct calls to find one who understands concussions. It takes special knowledge of the subtleties of concussion and the web sites don't mention concussion as an issue except for Hein and Hennesey ( a former Registered Nurse, maybe a better choice)

Hi Scott! I was also hurt at work (blunt trauma to the head) and have been suffering with PCS since October of last year.

The Headaches and fatigue are the worst for me but, the other symptoms are still here. The meds have changed a few times and I just had the diagnostic Injections to see what nerves might be causing the Migranes. The injections were in my face.... around my eyes, forhead and temples....OUCH!

I have a combo of pressure(tension) and Migraines that seem to be very difficult to treat.

I have found that I have to break tasks down to 10 or 15 minute segments or I am easly overwelmed and fatigued. My focus/concentration is very low and it's difficult to stay on task for any length of time, so I can relate to what you are going through.

I don't post a lot, but I have learned a great deal from this forum and I'm sure you will too. Take Care.

Thanks for the reply Headstrong, sounds like our experiences are very similar...my biggest problem remaining is the sensitivity to light; if I am exposed to bright light for more than a couple of minutes, I get headaches, light headed and cold sweats/chills, and lose all my energy. Most of the other symptoms seem to be under the control of my medicine, but if I don't take it what will happen? That's the big question.

I have also learned that at least in MO, if you have a WC case and don't get a lawyer on it, you're doomed. I am glad I did, b/c the neurologist the insurance company sent me to is a hack who discounts half of the symptoms I report to him and is only doing the insurance companie's bidding. Last time I went to him, he berated me for not being better yet and told me to start pushing myself harder to get better. Then he gave the insurance companie's nurse/case manager a note that said I could perform sedentary office work with no restrictions, but never said a word about that to me. I found out through the case manager. I now have an appt. with a neuro psych, going in for a 6 hour visit next month thanks to my lawyer. I could not have gotten a second opinion w/o a laywer.

And thanks to Mark in Idaho for the research on lawyers, I ended up using one of the ones you found for me and she really seems to know what I'm going through and has represented a lot of head injury cases, and knows my neurologist very well and has deposed him a few dozen times. The meeting with her was an eye opener!

Hang in there Head Strong!

Yes Scott, I found it necessary to retain an Attorney as well. The Wheels of Workers comp spin so slowly... that I needed help getting to the proper docs.
