Hi, my name is Renee P. I am
87 years old and live in Creve Coeur, Missouri. I never
thought that I would ever be involved in a personal injury
lawsuit. But, that changed in December of 2000.
I decided to have my hair styled at a local shop. I was
sitting in the chair having my hair cut when the stylist
told me to get up and walk over to the hair dryers. What I
didn’t know was that the stylist had left a power cord
right by my feet. When I tried to walk toward the dryer, I
tripped on the cord and broke my right hip.
I spent the next three months confined to a bed before I
could begin a year of physical therapy. I knew from the
beginning that I was going to need a good personal injury
lawyer if I was going to be able to get the insurance
company to take responsibility for my fall.
I called Brown and Crouppen because I had seen them on
television. I figured if they can afford to put all of
those commercials on the television they must have helped
a lot of people.
Just as my attorney predicted, the insurance company tried
to get off the hook by arguing that the fall was my fault.
The man from the insurance company said that I should have
seen the cord. I’m sorry but I am an 87-year-old woman,
the cord was not there when I sat down in the chair, then
they put that apron around me, I couldn’t see anything
around my feet.
But my attorney did not give up. He kept pounding away
until he got the insurance company to give in. In the end,
I received enough money to pay all of my medical and legal
expenses and enough left over to make the rest of my life
a lot more enjoyable.
Renee P.
