While waiting in parking lot to get feed from local feed store. Employees were loading a trailer parked next to me, when a scaffling plank that the employees had stood up on end and leaned up against the trailer, fell and struck me in the head, knocking me out for several minutes. Paramedics were called and I was taken to Emergency Room, where X-rays were taken. The Doctor said besides the golfball size lump to the head, I also had a concussion. After 5 days I still have Lump to head and brusing with terrible head aches. Do I have a case?
Plank approx. size 12" X 14' X 3" was placed standing on end extending 14' up leaning against trailer, therefore it fell with lots of force, knocking me out. Also have much bruising and pictures of face were taken in the hospital. The accident was witnessed by my daughter, and others at the feed store.
Yes you have a case! My experience with closed head injuries is that they can be very serious and need immediate medical attention. Your health is more important than the collection of money at the beginning. The lawyer should put the defendant on notice and get in touch with their insurance carrier immediatly. I see that your contact information will be available when I send this so I will call you. This may be a very serious situation.
