Redway, CA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

First you need to prove that they are responsible. A governmental unit may be immune for suit. Collect your medicals and put them on notice in accord with the statutory requirement.

Generally, hitting someone from behind (i.e. following too closely) is negligence, as well as negligence per se a s it violates Ohio's motor vehicle statutes. You need to see your doctor immediately. Find out from him/her whether the collision caused an aggravation of your pre-existing injury or, if not, whether it otherwise caused or contributed to your problem. If so, you should consider asserting a claim for your medical expenses; medications; lost wages, if any; pain and suffering; permanent injury, if any; and any other consequences of the collision. And don't forget that you must file within Ohio's two-year statute of limitations for personal injuries.

Before you file a lawsuit, you need to know what is causing you to have all the problems that you are having. If your doctor who performed the c-section and your OB-GYN can't tell you the answer, then get a second opinion from someone else. Based upon what the "new" doctor finds, you may or may not have a case. What you describe certainly isn't what is to be expected from a C-section (for instance, you had 4 prior C-sections with nary a problem), so in the abstract it certainly seems that someone did something wrong that is causing all of your problems. [Don't go to the second doctor asking for opinions on malpractice or even suggesting someone did something wrong, just ask him or her to determine why you now have these problems and what the solution is for your condition].
