Tyeisha is a minor child who was involved in an incident on March 22, 2011 in Douglas County Georgia. Tyeisha was taking the school bus home from school and as she was getting off at her bus stop, the driver closed the door on her leg. After this incident, Tyeisha required medical attention. At the Emergency Room, she was examined and diagnosed as having right leg injury and lumbar sprain/strain. She was given prescriptions for the sustained injuries. Upon discharge, she was instructed to rest and to take the prescribed medications and to seek follow up medical care for the injuries sustained. Following the emergency room physician's advice, she sought further medical care and was seen by Dr. Rosemarie Russo of Douglasville Wellness & Chiropractic Center. She continued to suffer from pain in her neck, back, and knee and was diagnosed with cervical sprain/strain, lumbar sprain/strain, and knee pain. Dr. Russo found that she had reduced range of motion in her neck, back, and knee. She was prescribed a conservative program of physical therapy to treat her symptoms. Once she was feeling better, we settled the claim against GSBA Risk Management.
