Workplace Injury
According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration, concussions cause approximately $60,770 in direct costs and $66,847 in indirect costs per incidence of concussion in the workplace. OSHA estimates that it takes $4,253,900 in sales to cover the total costs of a single incidence of concussion.1
Due to the significant loss of productivity and financial costs associated with concussions, Conquering Concussions will work with Worker’s Compensation programs to help reduce medical costs and return the employee back to their workplace position and normal function in their personal lives.
