Hidden Damage

The insurance company claimed that Sunserea McClelland's problems were all in her head. She knew better. But would a jury believe her?

...continued from page 10

McClelland's life has improved significantly since the days she thought about overdosing on painkillers. She still has excruciating headaches, and riding in a car can bring on severe anxiety. But she has been seizure-free for several years now, and she has a fiancé; friends say he "acts as her frontal lobes," taking charge of organizing household chores, the checkbook and their combined families. McClelland jokes that her plan for her life is "to buy as many pairs of pajamas as I can." She has quite a collection, a souvenir of her many hours in bed since the accident.

Seriously, she adds, "I want to get my kids through school and find something I can do. Even volunteering somewhere is hard. You have to go through training and be scheduled, and I never know when I'm going to have a headache. But I want to feel I'm giving something back instead of sitting around my house."

Never give in: Attorney Greg Gold took on a minor accident case -- and endured five years of costly litigation and nasty tactics.

She sighs, a long exhale of relief. "Emotionally, I feel so much better and lighter," she says, "now that the trial is over."

Thanks for share a great article. I agree with you. A solicitor will prepare the strongest case possible on your behalf to submit to the Injuries Board Ireland. cerebral palsy compensation claim

Great post...... well written.... thanks for share . Due to the nature of the cases they deal with, you will find that personal injury solicitors are easy to talk with, sympathetic of your situation and considerate of the injuries that you have suffered when providing advice. And personal injury solicitors offer an impartial ear when discussing the circumstances surrounding your injuries – they will not be influenced by personal feelings when determining whether an accident is due to negligence or is an accident.

Except in work injuries where a condition has developed over time, your accident should be recorded in your employer´s “Accident Report Book”. http://www.murrayflynnmaguire.ie/work-injuries-dublin-ireland/

Very impressive........thanks for share a knowledgeful information. A solicitor will prepare the strongest case possible on your behalf to submit to the Injuries Board Ireland, and will also be prepared to advise you in the event that the negligent party denies his responsibility for your injuries, or claims that you contributed to them by your own lack of care. These are reasons for the Injuries Board Ireland to decline your application for personal injury compensation and issue you with an authorisation to pursue your personal injury compensation claim in court.

I found this story while surfing the web. This is all years behind us all now. However it still amazes me the things that went on at trial. I was a witness, and the State Farm Lawyer tried several times to make me say that I had told him, and his investigator something that I had not. It turned into a fiasco as far as I am concerned. I started speaking directly to the jury so that I could not be interrupted by anyone. I pretty much made that attorney look like the fool that he was. One thing Lawyers should know, or should have known, is that you never, ever, try to make a Saint Anthony Paramedic look like a fool. He tried, he got fried. I was Sunny's primary partner at Broomfield Ambulance, and I had also helped with her training while I was an Officer at Northglenn Ambulance. She was a remarkable young woman to say the least. The last time that I spoke with her was a few days after the trial. She still seemed just not herself. Gone was the spontaneous, bubbly, and cheerful person that I had known, and grown to love over several very trying years. God bless you and yours Sunny. Patrick D. Sperry NREMT - Paramedic
