Q: Injured on owners property-suffering from post concussion syndrome. Please help, not doing well.
Owners were to be completed with a mother in law suite upon our moving in. We signed paid our lease. This accident occurred 1 day later. They had a utility truck on the property for an additional week. It was unlocked, no safety on this... it opened & pinned me between the utility door & brick building. It took 2 men to lift this off me (100-200 lb possibly more of door). . I was unconscious & 2 days later head bleed. I’ve been to neurologist 4 times-I have post concussion syndrome. Headaches, no balance, short time memory loss. It has changed my life & turned it upside down. I’m afraid I’ll never get back to normal. Three people were with me & I was told I am lucky to be alive. I’m on disability for extreme RA pain since 2013. I’ve turned very anxious, little sleep & horrific nightmares & unstable in 4 months. What do I do? I’m so depressed....
A: If you have not already done so, the incident needs to be reported to the land lord as well as the owner of the utility truck and a request made for their insurance company. You should also consult with an attorney so you may provide more details to see if the attorney can assist you.
Charles M. Baron and Brandon Labiner agree with this answer
A: Haven't you called a personal injury attorney to schedule a free consultation? If not, why not?
A: Look for members of the Florida Trial Lawyers/Assn for Justice. You may have coverage through the truck's medical payment but a local lawyer will tell you about that. Talk to the lawyer before you talk to the insurance company.
