More details to this question:
I recently started working for a cab company and worked a 12 hour day on Saturday with no problem the next day my finger was swollen and I got a rash right where I put my left hand on the wheel and also where I rest my arm on the window. Went to the doctor today to find out it was herpes I've never had this problem before in my life. Now the rest of my life I will have this crap

I am sorry to hear about this. Anytime there is negligence that led to an injury there may be a potential malpractice case. Our firm concentrates on medical malpractice cases. I would recommend consulting with a general attorney. Keep in mind it may be difficult to link the cab to the herpes because herpes does typically take several days to appear after exposure. Thanks, Dr. Guy Regev.
