On a cold day in November, our client, a hardworking landscaping and construction manager, was making his typical early-morning commute. As he drove down 24 Mile Road in Macomb Township, the car in front of him suddenly began to fishtail. Before he knew it, his vehicle also lost traction, and he violently collided with a nearby fire hydrant.
As he staggered out of his vehicle to assess the damage, he noticed the reason the road was totally iced over despite a complete lack of precipitation. A construction site adjacent to the accident scene was carelessly pumping water onto the roadway, even though temperatures that morning were well below freezing.
Following the accident, he was seen by multiple chiropractors, physicians, and spinal injury specialists. After months of debilitating neck and back pain, he received a highly invasive spinal fusion procedure to address multiple bulging and fractured vertebrae. He continued physical therapy and chiropractic care throughout his recovery, but eventually needed a second spinal fusion to further remedy his back injuries.
After these life-changing procedures, our client’s world was turned upside down. He was permanently disabled from working and was unable to return to the active lifestyle he once enjoyed. Not only did his injuries deprive him of the ability to provide for his family, but they also irrevocably altered the relationships he shared with his wife and children.
Feeling like a shell of his former self, he turned to Femminineo Law to help right the wrongs that he endured that fateful November morning.
