Trigeminal Neuralgia Due to Workplace Injuries

As trigeminal neuralgia is a rare disorder, there is limited information on how the condition develops. However, there is a general consensus that trigeminal neuralgia is the result of injury to the trigeminal nerve. This nerve can be damaged when there is significant trauma to your head or face. So, it you had a concussion or some other head injury because of an accident at work, you may end up with a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia.

As a general rule, employees cannot sue their employer for accidents on the job, since they can file a claim for workers’ compensation. But there are situations where litigation against the employer is warranted, meaning you can file a lawsuit for a work injury that resulted in trigeminal neuralgia. For example, if you were injured because your boss shoved you down a flight of stairs, that could form the basis for a lawsuit. Or, if there were hazardous conditions at your job that your employer refused to fix, and this is why you got hurt, perhaps filing a lawsuit is the right course of action.

Please note that if you are receiving worker’s compensation, suing your employer will be very difficult. That’s why injury victims of negligence and malicious conduct by an employer should talk to a workers’ compensation attorney right away, who can help them determine the best course of action.

If you are approved for a workers’ comp claim, you can receive payments such as temporary or permanent disability payments and cost of medical care to treat the injury and resulting complications. What happens, though, if you file a lawsuit? If you are able to sue your employer for injuries caused by an accident at work, compensation you can ask for may include:

• Medical expenses for current and future treatments, medications, etc.
• Lost wages and value of lost job benefits
• Pain and suffering / emotional distress
• Punitive damages if your employer is found guilty of gross negligence by a jury
• Cost of legal representation (lawyer’s fees)

A trigeminal neuralgia workplace accident lawyer can advise you on which payments you can recover, and the amounts you obtain in each of these categories. With decades of experience in brain injury and head trauma injury cases, you can count on us to fight for every penny you deserve.

Are you dealing with the agonizing discomfort of trigeminal neuralgia because of a job-related accident? While these cases are uncommon, it is possible to end up with chronic pain due to a serious injury to the trigeminal nerve. Sadly, many workers with chronic pain disorders are denied compensation by insurance companies. This is why legal advice from a work injury lawyer is so important, along with consistent, on-going medical care.

Representation from a skilled attorney is particularly important if you are eligible for a lawsuit against your employer. The legal process becomes much more complicated when you are suing your employer versus filing a workers’ compensation claim.
