20% of Paradigm catastrophic workers’ compensation cases arise out of motor vehicle accidents. Within the transportation sector, the most common claims are motor vehicle accidents, falls, and material-handling injuries. Paradigm has the precise expertise and clinical partnerships needed to handle transportation-related organ damage, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and burns. These catastrophic transportation-related injuries present unique challenges:

An aging workforce—the average commercial driver is 49 years old

High risk for certain comorbidities, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, as well as health issues associated with obesity

Lifestyle factors, including excessive caffeine intake, tobacco use, and suboptimal nutrition, all of which contribute to decreased life expectancy

A highly challenging RTW process, especially if permanent limitations exist
