Just 2 weeks ago I was exiting the restroom at work, when I slipped and fell on a wet substance on the floor. I landed on my lower back/right sided. A witness called the Medics and I was transported to the ER. X-rays were taken showing no broken bone. My finace' works at a chiropractors office and told him about my injuries.i was in his office the next morning. That day he sent me for an mri showing no herniations. I've been recieving chiropractic treatments daily, massage therapy 3 x and week and microstim daily as well. I work through a staffing agency who's work comp is covering this matter. I also am seeing a orthopedic MD who agrees with the chiropractor with a diagnosis of a thorasic/lumbar sprain/strain with whiplash. I am only 25 and fear I may never recover to 100% normal again. It's real hard for me too sit in a chair for more than 15 minutes, bend over even sleep. I know i have a strong WC case, but do I also have a PI case against the owner of the building? I was making a fairly good wage and now i'm only recieving 66%. what can i expect? Please help!!
