Sonja E.

Sonja E. and her son were traveling south bound on Bluelick Road in Louisville, Kentucky. When they began to approach the intersection, another driver crashed into the front driver side of their vehicle, failing to observe the traffic control device. The impact caused severe damage to the vehicle and resulted in injury to the driver and both passengers.

She was treated in the emergency room of Baptist East Hospital and was diagnosed with a radius shaft fracture and placed in a fiberglass cast. She was prescribed Oxycodone and Promethazine for her pain and nausea. Her son was also treated in the emergency room.

Two days later Sonja returned to the doctor where she underwent surgery on her right arm. She went through extensive physical therapy at Baptist East for several months. At the time of this accident, she was employed by Best Buy and was forced to miss several weeks of work due to her injuries sustained from the crash.
