Demolition Man Hospitalized After Injury At Margate Warehouse

No this is not about Sylvester Stallone batting Wesley Snipes in that 1993 futuristic movie thriller! Rather, a construction worker at a Margate warehouse was transported to Northwest Medical Center by paramedics last week for a severe on the job head injury. Demolition workers were using a wrecking ball crane to raze a dilapidated structure. Its’ cable however snapped sending part of it hitting an employee. Fortunately, his protective helmet saved him. Thereafter he was airlifted to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Brain injuries might take days, weeks or even months to manifest themselves. They’re often hidden, so people, including doctors may overlook the diagnosis. At work sites, they can be caused by falls, falling objects, motor vehicles/heavy construction equipment accidents, electrical shock, just to name a few scenarios.

A traumatic brain injury (T.B.I.) is quite complicated. It can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. Many times, the injured person’s family and friends are the first people to notice T.B.I. symptoms. They are wide ranging and include (among others):

  • Double Vision
  • Ringing in the ears

  • Memory Loss
  • Loss of taste, smell and hearing
