More details to this question:
head. I reported the incident to the flight attendant and i told her i have to be sent to the hospital because of my medical history. Paramedics came and brought me to the hospital. I was later on discharged from the hospital and was recommened just to be monitored for the next couple days. I went to my neurologist for my scheduled follow up on Friday and i was expected to be cleared to go back to work since I was symptom free for 3 weeks. Since the incident happened, my doctor didnt clear me. Now, i might lose my job because i wont be able to go back. Who is liable for my inuries? Who can i sue?

The airline should be responsible for any injury you received. If it was the fault of another passenger, it will be up to the airline to make that claim and bring that person it. You should also pursue short term disability through the State.
