Karen’s Story – Hoping to "Take My Muscle Car Out for a Spin"
My truck was totaled when I was hit from behind by a guy driving a Dodge Ram. There was too much adrenaline pumping that day for me to know I was injured, but the next morning, I literally couldn’t lift my arm. That was scary! Matt Steinbrink handled a car accident case for me several years ago, so I immediately contacted Matt and SiebenCarey.
It turned out that my rotator cuff was blown out. At first, I did a lot of physical therapy, hoping I wouldn’t need surgery. But it didn’t work. Meanwhile, the accident seriously altered my life. For example, I couldn’t walk my English Setter, fearing he’d tug on the leash and wrench my shoulder again. I tried to go back to my old job but finally retired after a few months because of the pain.
I already knew Matt and his team were awesome from last time, and they didn’t let me down. They always responded to me right away, not two days later, but I mean right away. When we met, I was surprised at how much was getting done behind the scenes. I always knew what was happening, but it was nice not to sweat the details.
Most important, they get results. Matt doubled the initial offer from the insurance company for my final settlement. I’ve since had surgery on my shoulder and am still struggling with back pain. But I’m feeling better and hoping to return to activities I enjoyed before the accident. High on my list is to take my muscle car out for a spin. I bought it when I was 22, and it was always a little tricky to steer with manual steering!
