Vehicular Injury Testimonial
May 14th, 2009In July, 2005, I was involved in a collision when I was riding my motorcycle on McKnight Blvd. when a car, which had been travelling in the lane beside me, made a right hand turn directly in front of my path of travel, causing a collision. Upon impact I was thrown from my motorcycle, hit my left knee on the car, flew over the hood and into the air for about 8 feet before landing on the pavement on my left side.I am a 39 year old man who was working as a warehouse supervisor at the time of the collision. I sustained multiple fractures to my pelvis and left hip, several fractures to my lumbar spine, sprains to both ankles, a left knee ligament injury and a broken toe.
I required pelvic reconstruction and was hospitalized for 8 weeks. Upon discharge I wore a knee splint, was on blood thinning medication and used a wheelchair. Over time I used a walker, crutches and then a cane. I received extensive physiotherapy for three years. I developed depression.
Upon my discharge from hospital, I retained Pamela Fischer to represent me in my legal action against the insurance company of the at-fault driver. I knew that my injuries were serious, permanent and would affect my livelihood and quality of life. I knew I needed to retain 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.
I was unable to return to work and had to find alternate employment. I will have to undergo several surgeries in the future to my hip and knee.
My claim was settled after I participated in a private 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 income I will lose 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.
