Helping The Victims Of Head Injuries Obtain Financial Recovery

Head injuries – including concussions, skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries – are one of the most serious injuries that a person can sustain. Even mild traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, have been shown to involve a number of serious and lifelong consequences. In fact, research shows that concussions can lead to depression, fatigue, sleep problems and increased risk of stroke.

Head injuries can happen in a number of accidents, ranging from football and other sports injuries to car accidents and construction accidents. The personal injury lawyers at Taradash Johnson Janezic represent clients in McHenry and throughout Illinois, who have sustained head injuries. We seek maximum compensation from all possible sources, including personal injury damages, as well as workers’ compensation benefits and Social Security Disability benefits if applicable.

Some of the early symptoms of a head injury include memory difficulties, changes in perception, changes in mood, cognitive difficulties (such as the inability to concentrate and focus), sleep disturbances, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. The signs and symptoms of a head injury are not always readily apparent, however, so it is highly recommended that you seek medical attention following a personal injury accident, such as a car accident or motorcycle accident even if you don’t show any symptoms of a head injury.

Were You Injured By A Hazardous Chemical?

Illinois residents generally know – based on information we gathered in science classes, things we’ve seen in the news and facts listed on warning labels – that some chemicals are more hazardous than others. Substances that are toxic or contain dangerous ingredients must be handled, used and stored in a particular way in order to avoid accidents that can damage property and hurt people in the area. Hazardous materials can easily cause harm to workers using them on the job, to first responders who treat injured employees and address on-site emergencies, and to innocent bystanders exposed inadvertently due to the release of toxins such as near or in a swimming pool; exposed to high levels of chlorine.

Current Protocols Regarding Hazardous Chemicals

The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is tasked with keeping track of hundreds of thousands of different types of hazardous chemicals, everything from poisons and household cleaners to industrial-strength acids and fertilizers. While the EPA has protocols in place for mandatory employer reporting of dangerous substances through its “Tier II” system, there is little to no federal oversight of the validity of that data.

Illinois has its own state laws regarding the handling and disclosure of toxic chemicals, set forth in the Uniform Hazardous Substances Act of Illinois (435 ILCS 35) and the Illinois Chemical Safety Act (435 ILCS 45). Having these protocols in place means that it is less likely that Illinois workers and emergency responders will be exposed to toxic levels of dangerous materials, but it does not mean that injuries – even deaths – from hazardous chemical substances never happen.

The Consequences Of Inaccurate Reporting

In June of this year, a fire and subsequent explosion at Nova-Kern LLC (a manufacturer of compounds used in high-tech manufacturing based in Seward, Illinois) injured one employee and released smoke containing numerous potentially toxic substances, including chlorine gas, into the environment. The chemical exposure resulted in the evacuation of many of the homes and businesses in the area of the plant for an entire day. Firefighters on the scene took no special precautions when trying to extinguish the blaze because the company had not reported the presence of any hazardous chemicals on site. Amazingly, no emergency responders or bystanders were injured.

Not all have been so lucky, though. EPA data shows that there have been 60 deaths, over 1,300 injuries and roughly $1.6 billion in damages at sites storing the 140 most hazardous chemicals (of the 500,000 that the EPA keeps track of) since 2005.
