Q: Do I have a good case?
I was rear ended while sitting at a light. The impact cause moderate car damage, immediate neck & back pain, a concussion( continuous headache for 2 1/2 days) and aggravated my pre-existing neurological condition which cavernous ingioma which is the malformation of vessels over the brain which occasionally hemorrhage over the brain usually causing hospitalization. I didn’t have any brain bleeding but the whiplash cause me to start back having the feeling of swelling of my brain, light headiness and the feeling of my face getting tight with my lips having a tingling sensation.
A: When you are rear-ended in a car, liability almost always lies with the car that struck you from the rear. Absent an exception to the general rule or negligence on your part, liability has been presumptively established against the other driver. Any accident that causes a concussion is serious. Aggravation of a preexisting condition is also compensable. Schedule a free consultation so that the full extent of your injuries and damages can be assessed.
A:
I am so sorry for your injuries. Yes you have a good potential case. First, make sure you are getting excellent, proper and complete medical diagnoses and treatment.
Consult with experienced attorneys.
A: It sounds like you do. In terms of liability, it seems straightforward in your favor. You've covered the medical aspects of your injuries in considerable detail. This would be of interest to medical professionals who your attorney could consult with to evaluate the severity of your injuries. I hope you're okay. Good luck
