Couple Accuses Driver of Causing Chronic Injuries
A personal injury lawsuit filed by a woman and her husband is underway in Madison County Circuit Court. The couple claims that the other driver, a man, struck the rear end of their vehicle causing the wife to sustain chronic headaches; jaw, back and neck pain and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
The woman has recently added to the claim that she is no longer able to care for her husband who suffers Parkinson’s disease and other neurological degradations. The woman’s conditions, as a result of the accident, have caused her to lose wages, experience a diminished quality of life, incur medical costs, and become incapable of providing services or companionship to her afflicted husband.
The two blame the other driver for causing the rear end accident, driving too fast, and not keeping a careful eye on the road. They are requesting over $100,000 in compensation in addition to attorney’s fees and any other relief the court deems just.
Modern rear bumpers are designed to absorb shocks of five miles per hour in rear end accidents. Higher speeds could result in injury. If the couple can prove that the other driver was driving at unsafe speeds and not paying attention to forward traffic, then it is very likely they will obtain the requested compensation.
