Transforming Lives
No amount of financial recovery can ever compensate
an individual or family for the loss of a loved one or for the suffering
of the catastrophically injured. Tragic medical events forever change
the landscape of families' lives. In the aftermath of such events, there
is healing and rebuilding that must take place. Though the healing process is
a long and difficult road, financial compensation can ease some of the
burden, and aid in transforming the lives of individuals and families
touched by devastating medical events. The following are some of our clients'
stories.
Doing Good in Memory of a
Loved One...
For
a family who suffered the tragic loss of their 6-year-old son due to a medication
error, what mattered most was to honor his memory by "doing good."
For them, the settlement they received carried with it a significant obligation
and responsibility to help others all in the name of their child.
They worked with a large city hospital to construct a playroom named after
their son, and they were instrumental in establishing an educational program
for doctors in that same facility. Additional plans are underway for a
library to be built in their son's honor and the family offers interpretation
services to non-English speaking patients at the hospital.
Allowing Him
to Be All He Can Be...
For
a young boy who suffers from cerebral palsy as a result of a birth injury,
the settlement recovered on his behalf gave him access to state-of-the-art
physical therapy programs to help him reach his full physical and cognitive
potential. He participates in a special kind of physical therapy involving
horseback riding at a therapeutic recreational camp. He has gone on to
win 2 gold medals in the Special Olympics in this event.
A Legacy of Love...
After
receiving a settlement for the untimely death of her mother due to lung cancer,
a young woman was able to rebuild her life and expand her family by using
a portion of the recovery she received to pursue an international adoption
of a baby girl from Guatemala. Her new daughter arrived home in time for
the holidays that year, and was fittingly named after the grandmother who
had helped to bring her home.
