In July, 2001, I was a passenger in a 1995 GMC Sierra truck which was traveling west on 6th Ave. S.W. in Calgary through the intersection with 2 St. S.W. on a green light.  Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire ran a red traffic light and collided with our vehicle.  Damage to our vehicle was estimated at $21,400.00.

At the time of the collision I was a 39 year old single woman who was 37 weeks pregnant.  I sustained significant bruising to my abdomen, left thigh, feet and right shoulder.  I was stiff and sore all over.  An urgent “C” section was performed two days later.  I continued to suffer from constant bilaterally shoulder pain and back pain.  M.R.I.s demonstrated a full thickness fear of the rotator cuff in both of my shoulders.  An Orthopaedic Surgeon considered surgical treatment to my neck due to disc degeneration and interforaminal spurring which caused daily headaches.  I developed myofascial pain in my upper back.  I developed depression.  Arthroscopic surgery was done on my left shoulder and will be done on my right shoulder in the future.

I worked for a Canadian bank in a physically demanding position which required travel and a lot of lifting. My chronic pain and depression adversely affected by ability to fulfill my duties.  After the surgery to my shoulder I was unable to lift anything above my waist.

I still have on-going difficulties with pain, stiffness and movement of both shoulders, neck pain, daily headaches and depression.

I retained Pamela Fischer to represent me in my legal action against the insurance company of the at-fault driver.  I knew that my quality of life and livelihood would be adversely affected by my injuries.  I recognized that I needed to be represented by highly competent legal counsel.

Ms. Fischer represented me very well and helped me through the litigation process each step of the way.  She responded to my inquiries in a timely and informative manner.

My claim was settled after I participated in a judicial mediation with the adjuster and the lawyer who represented the insurance company.   I felt that my concerns were heard through-out this process.  I was very pleased with the amount of compensation I received  –  it will replace future lost income and will cover the cost of future medical treatment.

I highly recommend Ms. Fischer & her law firm for anyone who is seriously injured and wants highly capable legal counsel.
