The Accident and Injuries
Our client was simply crossing the street when a vehicle failed to yield and hit him. The impact was devastating, leaving him with broken back, shoulder blade, arm, and ribs, as well as a punctured lung. These injuries required immediate medical attention, piling on the stress and uncertainty about the future.
Initial Consultation
Dealing with immense physical pain and the stress of mounting medical bills, our client reached out to us.
