Our client sustained severe injuries in a motor vehicle collision involving a school bus. The bus driver, who was following too closely, caused a high-speed rear-end impact at a stop sign on US Highway 24. The driver’s negligence was demonstrated, as he failed to observe the congested traffic and the slowing vehicles.
Following the accident, our client required extraction from the vehicle and immediate hospitalization. The collision resulted in cervical injuries to the C3, C4, C6, and C7 vertebrae, leading to severe pain necessitating surgical intervention. Additionally, injuries to the shoulder and knee incurred substantial medical expenses for extensive physical therapy sessions.
In addition, our client suffered a concussion and traumatic brain injury, manifesting as post-concussion syndrome with symptoms such as fatigue, tinnitus, visual disturbances, dizziness, weakness, headaches, agitation, confusion, reduced concentration, dysphoric mood, memory impairment, and sleep disturbances. These challenges have significantly affected his daily life and overall well-being.
The bus driver’s negligence not only caused physical harm and pain but also resulted in mental health issues, including depression and anxiety stemming from the accident’s trauma.
