Denton, TX trial attorney Grace Weatherly talks about what inspires and motivates her on a daily basis in her career. She explains that over the course of my 25-year career, I have been pleasantly surprised by the significant impact we can make in people’s lives through civil cases. We have had the opportunity to save companies, enhance the quality of life for individuals who have suffered severe injuries, and even save lives. Among the numerous cases I have handled, two stand out as particularly rewarding.

In one case, we represented a woman who was unjustly taken off the lung transplant list by her employer after she desperately needed a transplant. Our efforts not only succeeded in reinstating her job but also ensured her rightful place on the transplant list. As a result, her life was extended, providing her with a newfound hope and opportunity.

Another memorable case involved representing the family of a young child battling a devastating blood cancer. The child’s insurance company, through his mother’s employer, denied coverage for a vital stem cell transplant. Through litigation, we fought for and obtained the approval for the life-saving procedure. Today, I am thrilled to share that the child has not only overcome his illness but also recently graduated from high school, marking a remarkable milestone in his journey.

It is these types of cases that reaffirm the value and importance of our work. Knowing that we can positively impact the lives of individuals, families, and even entire communities is what motivates us to continue our efforts.
