When I was 13 years old, my father died from a massive heart attack. His death left my mother, my 2 and 5 year-old sisters and me wondering how this could have happened to an otherwise healthy 37 year-old man. If I knew then what I know now, I would have slapped a lawsuit on his medical providers.
He had classic left shoulder and jaw pain for nearly a week. He had gone to several doctors over the course of that week, only to be diagnosed with a completely wrong and non-life threatening condition. The doctors completely missed the fact that he was undergoing a heart attack for nearly a week! Finally, his heart gave out. His condition could easily have been treated and he could have been with his family for the last 30 years.
Knowing that I wanted to represent victims of negligence, I worked for a national law firm for most of my 18 year career. I gained the experience to win. I learned how to work up a case from the defense side. I learned to see what scares defendants and insurance companies the most. I learned how to present a case so that the insurance company knows that it is in its best interest to settle without a costly and risky jury trial.
Bottom line is I know what it takes to give you the best chance of maximum recovery for your injuries.
