When I think of serious car crashes, I think first and foremost that they’re always typically accidental. No one is intending to get into a serious auto accident; it’s what happens as a result of the accident to the injured person and how it affects their lives that is the focal point of me and how I pursue a case. So when I think about serious car accidents, I understand one, we all drive or most of us do, and two, basically when this happens, this is like in my case cases generally catastrophic or at least something that is going to be life-changing.
I think of a client of mine who was a mom, a young lady in her mid-20s who was married, who had a child that was maybe six years old already, a beautiful daughter. Just before her accident, she had just delivered twins, and she was married. Well, one day she got in the car; she was going to, as a matter of fact, visit a friend that was in the hospital. In the vehicle, sitting in the back, a semi-truck rear-ended her into the vehicle that she was in. Unfortunately, this caused her life.
Now look at it; we have a woman who was gone. She’s left behind her mother, her family, but more importantly, her newborn twins, her husband, and her young child. And now this family is forever affected, and their lives forever changed. That was touching to me, and I was proud to have served them, to make sure that they were properly counseled, but more importantly, that they were made whole based on this loss that they suffered. Money doesn’t fix it all, but in this case and in our system, it’s the best that we could do. And I appreciate the fact that I’m able to serve in that capacity. So that was just one case, you know, regarding a serious auto accident and a semi-truck.
Southfield, MI personal injury attorney Johnny Hawkins talks about memorable, catastrophic car injury case and how he was able to compensate his client for their loss. When reflecting on severe car accidents, the focus is primarily on their typically accidental nature, acknowledging that no one intends to be involved in such incidents. The emphasis lies in understanding the aftermath of the accident for the injured party and how it profoundly impacts their life. In considering serious car accidents, the individual driving experience is recognized, and the resulting consequences are viewed as generally catastrophic or life-changing.
An illustrative case involves a client—a young woman in her mid-20s, a mother, and a spouse with a six-year-old child and newborn twins. Tragically, she became a victim of a serious car accident when a semi-truck rear-ended her vehicle while she was on her way to visit a hospitalized friend. Regrettably, the collision claimed her life, leaving behind a grieving family, including her husband, young child, and newborn twins.
The incident exemplifies the lasting impact on the family, forever altering their lives. The attorney involved in the case reflects on the emotional resonance, expressing pride in providing legal counsel to ensure the family’s proper guidance and, more significantly, striving to bring a sense of wholeness to their lives in the wake of such a profound loss. While acknowledging that monetary compensation cannot fully remedy the situation, the attorney recognizes it as the best recourse within the legal system to address the tangible aspects of their suffering. This particular case serves as an example of the attorney’s commitment to serving and navigating such challenging circumstances.
