An educated man like yourself should have figured it out by now. Especially a legal eagle like yourself.
Obviously you were "stressed"out about possible fluid leaks and had to "repeatedly" check under the car. This action caused you to "injure" yourself by no fault of your own.

You must of hit your head pretty hard to have missed that one.
