Description
In September, plaintiff slipped and fell while going to her car in defendant's parking lot. The trial court found defendant negligent, and there is no issue as to defendant's negligence on appeal. See NMSA 1978, § 52-1-19. Plaintiff fell onto her left side. The fall made her dizzy and her left arm and shoulder hurt. She also had headaches, nausea, and blurred vision. The dizziness, headaches, nausea and blurred vision were attributed to post-traumatic or post-concussive syndrome; such symptoms are frequently seen after head injuries. The post-concussive syndrome had mostly cleared up by November. Plaintiff was treated by a doctor who continued to treat her for neck spasm and pain in the scapula which radiated down the left arm. The doctor explained that the muscle spasm would entrap the nerve causing pain in the back and arm.
