Improper Lane Change Results in Sustained Injuries - Lafayette Parkway

Demetrius Hanner was involved in a motor vehicle accident on April 6, 2010 in Troup County, Georgia while traveling east on Lafayette Parkway when another vehicle made an improper lane change striking the vehicle he was in. After this collision, Demetrius required immediate medical attention and was transported to the emergency room of West Georgia Medical Center. Demetrius presented with complaints of neck pain and was diagnosed with an acute myofascial neck strain. Demetrius was given prescriptions for the injuries he sustained and was also advised to seek follow up medical care. Demetrius continued to suffer pain from the sustained injuries. He was seen by Dr. Cosper of Cosper Chiropractic. who diagnosed him with cervical sprain/strain, thoracic sprain/strain, lumbar sprain/strain, and headaches. Dr. Cosper found that Demetrius had reduced range of motion in his neck and back. Further, Dr. Cosper prescribed a conservative program of physical therapy to treat his symptoms.

The claim against Cotton States Insurance Company was settled once Demetrius was feeling better.
