we do represent individuals there were
00:06
pedestrians at the time of having been
00:08
hit by a motor vehicle that’s what a
00:11
pedestrian auto accident is the typical
00:14
case is where you’re just trying to
00:16
cross the street or you’re walking on
00:18
the shoulder or you’re walking in a
00:20
roadway where there is no actual
00:22
sidewalk and so you’re walking as
00:23
required by law
00:25
thinking that you’re being safe but
00:27
unfortunately you’re struck by a motor
00:28
vehicle
00:29
those happen they’re very catastrophic
00:31
what typically happens is the person
00:34
sustains very life-changing injuries and
00:38
in most cases death why because we’re
00:41
talking about a piece of equipment that
00:44
has wheels that weighs tons that then
00:47
strikes the individual when that happens
00:49
as was the case in one of my cases the
00:52
individual a woman in her 30s was made
00:57
quadriplegic okay she was paralyzed okay
01:00
and so from that she her life changed
01:04
and she had to go into a nursing home
01:06
she was made whole obviously because we
01:08
got the maximum recovery I like to use
01:10
that term maximum recovery because the
01:13
bottom line is no money can ever really
01:15
change or fully compensate for what has
01:18
happened to a person but what we do and
01:20
make sure happens here is that you never
01:22
have another financial worry ever again
01:24
and so that you can believe we do here
01:26
