Please accept this week’s blog entry dealing with sickle cell anemia from the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Miami Lakes, accident attorney West Kendall, Florida, injury attorney Doral, accident lawyer Coconut Grove, injury attorney Cooper City, accident lawyer Miramar).
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder. As a result of this disorder, people have a sickle cell “crisis,” which results in many problems including pain in and around the body. Here, if a doctor believes, and it can be proven within a reasonable degree of medical probability under Florida law, that someone is having additional sickle cell crisis as a result of the trauma from a car accident or from another injury stemming from a car accident, then this could result in a case against the at fault vehicle. This question involves one of the key elements in any injury case, causation. It would have to be proven that the additional crisis after the car accident were CAUSED from the accident. This would obviously take expert testimony from the treating doctors. And this is something that clearly could be disputed by the at fault car or their insurance company and lawyers.
