Case Details

A young woman was in a car accident in January. During the time that she was treated, she was rear-ended in a second accident. She then went to a pain management doctor who injected a steroid into her neck which was alleged to have impinged on her spinal cord causing her a cervical spinal cord injury with gait disorder, chronic pain as well as left foot drop and sensory loss in her left foot. Causation was contested as the doctor claimed that her injuries were from the motor vehicle accident.
