I suggest you be very careful at mediation.

First, you need them to acknowledge in your file that you suffered a Closed Head Injury from the At Work accident. It is mandatory for you to have this acknowledgement in your file.

Second, they need to pay you your full WC disability pay for time off work, this includes your FMLA time. They need to agree to continue WC paychecks and medical care and rehabilitative services at a brain injury rehab facility.

Don't get your hopes up too high. Getting them to acknowledge that you suffered a work-related Closed Head Injury will be the biggest goal. Your ER records should support that. The EMT's should also have good records (hopefully).

There may be transcripts or recordings of the ambulance radio communications. Hopefully, they would include 'orientation' ( your ability to recognize who you are, where you are, date and time, etc.). Hopefully, these records are available.

It is a war but it is won by one battle at a time. the first battle is over getting Closed Head Injury or severe concussion listed as a Work Related Injury.

Good luck to you.
