TBI Symptom

Can't Keep Your Balance Since Your Work Injury?

Dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems after a workplace head injury can prevent you from working, driving, and living normally. The vestibular system is frequently damaged in TBI.

Warning Sign

Vestibular problems often get worse when you try to push through them and return to normal activities. If you're experiencing dizziness that doesn't improve, or if you've had additional falls since your work injury, you need specialized vestibular testing and treatment. These symptoms don't just 'go away on their own.'

Understanding Balance Problems & Dizziness After Work Brain Injury

The vestibular system - your inner ear balance mechanism and its connections to the brain - is frequently damaged in traumatic brain injury. This can cause persistent dizziness, vertigo (sensation of spinning), and problems with balance and coordination. Vestibular dysfunction makes many jobs impossible, especially those requiring standing, walking, climbing, or operating equipment.

You May Have TWO Claims

If someone other than your employer caused or contributed to your brain injury, you may have both a workers' compensation claim AND a separate personal injury lawsuit. This "two claims" strategy can significantly increase your total recovery.
