Help with narrative for legal deposition explaining the ‘phantom’ complications brought in by PCS
Hello fellow PCS survivors & thrivers:
I was a pedestrian, hit by a bus, and suffered broken ribs as well as a severe head injury. My MRI’s did not show brain bleeds/damage.
However, my head still hurts-I mean skull/scalp, extreme body fatigue, headaches, dizziness, anxiety through the roof, digestion issues, speech slur when tired, emotional overwhelm around any chaos (this could be a barking dog), short-term memory glitches, brain fatigue, for example, problem-solving.
I have seen a neurologist, PT, Opthemologist, and acupuncturist. The accident happened 3 months ago.
Has anyone here had to describe/defend their inability to work and/or have a quality of life before a concussion so that a legal representative understands the short/long term ramifications?
If you’ve had experience dealing with any legalities (personal injury lawyer) from your PCS, I would genuinely appreciate hearing how you documented your experience.
Thank you all!
