At Simons, Thurman & Fix, every case represents a person whose life was unexpectedly disrupted—and we take that responsibility seriously. Recently, we successfully represented a client who suffered significant injuries after being struck while riding their motorcycle.
The collision left our client with severe road rash, painful physical injuries, and the emotional toll that often follows traumatic accidents. What might look like “surface injuries” can involve extensive treatment, risk of infection, long-term scarring, physical therapy, and lasting discomfort. Beyond the physical harm, our client also faced mounting medical bills and time away from work.
From the outset, we focused on building a strong, evidence-backed case. Our client first contacted us when released from the hospital. We immediately helped them document the full extent of their injuries, prompt guidance which significantly increased their chances of successful negotiation. Our second task was to quickly document the defendant’s fault in negligently striking our client before the at-fault party could spin the story in their favor. We gathered police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other evidence to bolster our case. We pushed back against efforts to blame our client and to minimize their injuries. Through persistent negotiation and a readiness to take the case further if necessary, we successfully reached a favorable settlement that provides our client with the financial support needed to move forward. While no result can undo the trauma of the accident, this outcome helps ensure our client has access to continued care and a measure of justice.
Our firm has the added advantage of being your small-town family law firm. Our clients don’t have to wait weeks to meet with a big firm where their case is just a number. Delays in meeting with an attorney can be very detrimental to a personal injury case like this one when prompt documentation is crucial. We treat our clients like friends and family—with prompt, friendly advice and communication.
If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, it’s important to immediately understand your rights and options. Our team is here to help guide you every step of the way, beginning with a free personal injury consultation.
