To my delight, he agreed to take my case pro bono after hearing my story and the extent of the effects on my entire life
Life can take unfortunate twists and turns sometimes despite your best intentions. I know that I expected to be better off financially at 30 than I am right now, but my expectations were lofty as a child. It’s easy to mistakenly assume at a young age that success is directly correlative with hard work, and that is not always the case. Sometimes people get incredibly lucky to land a dream job that pays well and makes them feel fulfilled. They work incredibly hard, but perhaps someone they already knew hooked them up with the work gig. Plus, the opposite can be the case as well. Some people have a row of bad luck and end up financially destitute even if they’re hard workers. I was hit in my car by a drunk driver last year, and since then my life has spun out of control. The hospital kept me for two weeks because of the extent of my injuries, and then I was sent to a rehab facility. During this time, I lost my job and nearly got evicted by my apartment’s property manager. In a fit of desperation, I decided to call a personal injury attorney. To my delight, he agreed to take my case pro bono after hearing my story and the extent of the effects on my entire life. He helped me sue the drunk driver and his insurance company, recovering some of the money needed to pay the medical bills. I am slowly piecing my life back together after that horrible incident, but I don’t know how I could have navigated this process legally without the help of my personal injury attorney. He managed to get an amazing settlement offer without even going to court.
