What to do if I was exiting from a local chain retail store and the automatic doors caused an injury to me?
When I was exiting the building only the right side door opened. The left door was locked shut causing me to colide with left door, which resultrd in my head slamming against the left door. I immediately had a massive pump knot on forhead. I made a accident report at store. I went to the emergency room and had a ct scan done, and was in the bed the next 5 days as result of migraines and vomiting. I couldn’t drive, work, or tend to my 2 small children which really put a strain on me cause I am a single mom. Do I have a case?

I don't think so from the information you provided. The defense is going to say that you weren't paying attention and walked into the closed door when the the right side door opened. I'm assuming the right side was big enough for you to pass through safely. No harm talking to a local lawyer for another opinion, but I think you have a hard case here.
