Private Parking Lot Rear-End Accident Causes Client’s Prolonged Physical and Mental Pain
One day, our client and her family decided to drive to pick up lunch. The family made it to the Providence, Rhode Island establishment without incident.
Our client was parked, seated in the passenger seat, and twisted around to assist a family member with their meal when our client was suddenly jolted after a loud crash…
Another driver in the parking lot backed into the rear of our client’s parked vehicle! While the airbags did not deploy, our client still struck the vehicle hard and immediately went to the hospital with neck, head, and chest pain.
Providence Parking Lot Injury Leads to Months-Long Physical and Mental Pain
Our client felt pain at the accident scene, so she did the right thing and sought medical assistance. After her initial emergency room treatment, her pain failed to subside. In fact, she returned days later with increased pain and troubling symptoms – more chest, neck, and head pain, as well as nausea, dizziness, and sight and cognitive issues.
After the accident and subsequent follow-up appointments, our client underwent months of physical therapy sessions to address her physical pain. Our client experienced issues extending her neck, headaches, dizziness, and light sensitivity. Additionally, our client needed speech therapy, even months after the accident, to address her cognitive impairment (memory issues, attention/awareness, etc.). Needless to say, our client’s injuries impacted her ability to resume life as normal.
Another aspect of our client’s injuries was mental. Many of our clients suffer from varying degrees of PTSD, sadness, anxiety, and depression. Our client did the right thing by seeking mental medical care as well.
If I am Injured in a Parking Lot or Other Private Property, Do I Still Have a Personal Injury Case?
It depends! In this case, our parking lot injury client absolutely had a viable personal injury claim. The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the injury and damages present and the applicable insurance policies. Contact a parking lot personal injury attorney at Bottaro Injury Lawyers to address specifics.
Sometimes, people get confused as to whether they can request police presence at the scene of a car accident that took place on private property. You can – and should – call 911 if you are injured in an accident. The odds are that EMS and police will arrive to help.
In this case, we did not include a police report in our negotiations. A skilled personal injury attorney can still show that another driver caused your injuries with evidence like scene and/or damage photographs and medical records. This means that even if police do not show up at your parking lot or other private property car accident, take photos, keep track of witnesses, collect the at-fault driver’s information, and seek medical assistance.
We were grateful to support our fellow Rhode Island family after tragedy struck. Luckily, we were able to settle our client’s case outside of the court system. Now, our client has compensation to cover her medical bills and more! Call us if you ever need a Rhode Island or Massachusetts parking lot injury attorney!
