A jury may decide whether a Pennsylvania woman may recover non-economic damages in a limited tort automobile accident case where she did not visit her primary care doctor until six weeks after the accident and declined to mention the back and neck pain for which she is claiming a serious injury.
The plaintiff’s chiropractor, however, who saw the plaintiff a week before she visited her primary doctor, reported the woman complained of back and neck pain that prevents her from doing daily activities and standing for extended periods of time — enough to advance her case, a Lawrence County judge has ruled.
