The following blog entry is written to illustrate a common motion filed during civil litigation. Reviewing this kind of filing should help potential plaintiffs and clients better understand how parties in personal injury cases present such issues to the court.
(Please also note: the names and locations of all parties have been changed to protect the confidentiality of the participants in this car versus bus accident lawsuit and its proceedings.)
Back Pain:
Plaintiff claims pain throughout her entire back. The pain is there all the time. Only the degree of pain varies.
Again, plaintiff believes that all of her back pain is as the result of the subject accident. The pain is concentrated in her upper back and in her lower back, but they both radiate into her midback.
Hearing Problems:
Plaintiff wears a hearing aide in her left ear. She believes her level of hearing has decreased as a result of the accident. She has tinnitus in her left ear.
Sleep Problems:
Plaintiff does not claim a problem going to sleep, but she wakes up almost every night for one of two reasons. First, she often experiences cramping which can affect her back, her hips or her legs. When that happens, she has to get up and walk around, and the cramping is alleviated. Other times she is awakened by nightmares associated with the collision of October 17, 2008.

Cognitive Problems:
Plaintiff believes that she has short term memory problems and long term memory problems as well, both related to the accident. She testified that she once had a photographic memory, but now she has forgotten how to balance a checkbook and how to use her own computer. (See Part 6 of 7.)
