My name is Pam A. and I am thirty years old. On
September 24, 1999, my life changed forever. Late that
afternoon, my mom and I were headed to the mall to do
some shopping. As we rounded a curve, a semi-truck going
in the opposite direction hit us head on, basically
burying our car in a ditch. I spent the next two and
one-half months in the hospital, receiving treatment for
fractures of both of my legs and both of my arms, as
well as my hip. My mother was not as fortunate. After
receiving numerous medical treatments, she passed away
as a result of injuries she received in the accident.
Our family was devastated as a result of the serious
injuries we received from the careless actions of the
trucker.
While I was still in the hospital, my family helped me
contact Terry Crouppen and he and his firm immediately
went to work on our case. I had never hired a personal
injury attorney before and I was not sure what to do.
Not only were the attorneys at Brown and Crouppen able
to take care of the damages for my ruined vehicle, but
also were there to answer numerous questions we had
while my mother and I were still hospitalized. As you
can imagine, this accident greatly affected our daily
lives and the lawyers at Brown & Crouppen were there to
assist us at each step.
For the next year and a half after the accident, I
continued to receive medical treatment for my numerous
broken bones, which resulted in enormous medical bills.
The lawyers at Brown & Crouppen were able to help us
hold off the bill collectors until our cases were
settled. They then filed a law suit and started
preparing our cases for trial while we were still
receiving treatment. Finally, the doctors released me
from care and we were able to determine that I had
incurred over $270,000.00, in medical expenses for the
injuries I received in the crash.
Once I had completed my medical treatment, the lawyers
at Brown & Crouppen had the case set for trial. Shortly
after that happened the insurance company for the
trucker, contacted my lawyers at Brown & Crouppen to see
if there was a chance to settle the case. After a great
deal of skillful negotiation my case was settled last
month. My family and I are very happy we hired Brown &
Crouppen to represent us against the trucking company.
With the amount I received in the settlement, I was able
to pay off all of my medical bills, get reimbursed for
my lost wages and also be fairly compensated for my pain
and suffering.
I will always have to deal with the loss of my mother
and because of all the broken bones, I’ll have problems
with pain for the rest of my life. At least I will not
have to worry about money. The attorneys at Brown &
Crouppen couldn’t fix my broken bones, but they sure
took care of everything else. I couldn’t have asked for
more from them.
