- Event Of The Sinkhole fall took place at approximately 4:46pm. Our rental car was parked in front of my parents house, and my husband X, myself, and my 3 year old happened to be headed out for the evening. As anyone would have done in my situation my husband X was driving so he had gotten in the drivers side of the car, as I was putting C into the baby seat, which is behind the drivers side of the vehicle.
- After making sure C had been buckled in, I preceded to walk behind the vehicle, and as I am approaching the passenger side of the car right before reach the door to the back, fall into a sink hole, which I was not aware happened to be there. Immediately as I wasn’t sure how deep the hole was at the time, I grabbed the back door handle on the passengers side of the vehicle to prevent me some sinking further into the sink hole which happens to be on city property of Chesapeake, Virginia
- That evening, I reached out to the city of Chesapeake to see if we can come up with a conclusion.
- January about the middle as my foot has not stopped hurting, when I walk, run, or do anything that includes activity(I had lost my job so it was hard getting into the dr. But once I got monies I made it to the urgent care. They proceed to X-ray, and mentioned my foot was bruised.
- About March I had an appointment with one of my Doctors, who advised me to see a Podiatrist who he knew. I called to make an appointment with Dr. Y from Medical Clinic, and of course it was about a 3month wait. Which I just tried to stay off of it, as my right foot has given out one me three times since this fall in the sink hole in the City Of Chesapeake.
- 06/17/2019 - went for more X-rays
- 06/18/2019 - had a full exam on my foot, and left with a Diagnosis Of Lisfranc Injury - which will now have me in a made orthotic which I am being fitted for on August 5, 2019. The device is going to take 4-6 weeks to be made. I maybe in this device for a treatment preventative anywhere between 6months - 2 years. Not to leave out that if this treatment doesn’t work it will be physical therapy, with the possibility of surgery.
- When I had spoken to the city, of course they sent people out to put a temporary fix, but I did explain that if my 70 year old parents had fell into a hole like this, they may not even be alive.
