Man dies after suffering head injury at work

Posted on August 29th, 2011 No Comments

A man is now being remembered by loved ones after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a workplace accident.

The accident occurred last week while the man was at work and a large steel bin fell onto him causing him to be trapped underneath and to suffer from serious head injuries.

Officials said that the head injuries were so severe, there was nothing that they could do for him. Friends and neighbors are now collecting funds in order to help the family with costs.

Our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victim at this time.

Walt Disney World keeps ride closed after mechanic’s death

Posted on June 8th, 2011 No Comments

Walt Disney World is currently still investigating the death of a resort mechanic that occurred while he was working on the Primeval Whirl. The ride was scheduled to reopen in April, but that was postponed so that an investigation could be completed.

The ride was originally shut down in January for maintenance and then in March, the 52-year-old mechanic was killed when he was struck by one of the ride vehicles in the attraction.

The man suffered a major head injury and was pronounced dead later that day. This is not the first time that an accident occurred that caused the Primeval Whirl to need safety upgrades. In November 2007, a worker was hit by a ride vehicle and it caused her to fall three feet where she hit her head and died five days later.

A 24-year-old man died on Saturday from injuries that were sustained in a workplace accident less than a week before.

The man worked for AmeriCold Logistics, who employs about 5,000 worldwide. The details of the accident are unknown at this point, but it is known that a dock plate fell onto the man.

He was then transported to the York Hospital where he had been recovering in the trauma surgical intensive care unit. He passed away five days later. Officials with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are continuing to investigate the accident.

Head and brain injuries that occur in workplace accidents can change the lives victims and their families, our thoughts are with them at this time.

Brain injuries may go undiagnosed in soldiers

Posted on June 10th, 2010 No Comments

An investigation by NPR and ProPublica states that soldiers who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are not diagnosed or treated properly with brain injuries.

The mild-traumatic injury can occur from shock waves from roadside bombs ripplling through the brain causing damage that may lead to lasting brain injury. Military figures say that nearly 115,000 soldiers suffer from mild traumatic brain injury.

The investigation found that top Army officials believe that the figure may be much higher. In their investigation they found a study that stated that when soldiers return home, one of the tests done misses nearly 40 percent of concussions.

Head and Brain Injuries Require Preventative Protection

Posted on October 21st, 2009 No Comments

The serious nature of head and brain injuries requires that many workers take preventative measures to stop an accident from occurring in the first place.  It is important that individuals exposed to possible brain and head injuries take all the necessary precautions from allowing a head or brain injury from occurring in the first place,  because many times an injury to the head or brain will cause permanent damage to the individual worker.

It is important for any company or business to take the necessary steps to prevent these types of injuries from occurring to its work force.

If you or a loved one has sustained a work-related head or brain injury, contact Pennsylvania head and brain injury attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.
