Plaintiff 101

#1 Amazon Best Seller! As seen on Daytime TV, ABC & Bay News 9.
As my life hung in the balance after a tragic car accident caused by a drunk driver, I promised to spend the rest of my life helping others if I were to survive. Despite sustaining a traumatic brain injury, I am the founder and president of Fulfill Your Destiny, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to helping people whose careers have been altered by injury or other unforeseen circumstances. This book is to help other personal injury survivors contemplating litigation, or already involved in litigation. You should be able to navigate these troubled waters ever so slightly easier because of our experience and advice. We’re hopeful that plaintiffs’ attorneys will see the benefit of providing this book as a teaching tool to their clients so as a team you can win your case!

This is NOT a book you want to wait and read after you’ve fallen victim to someone’s negligence. This is a must-read book for everyone now. Be prepare for the unexpected. I am sending a copy to my two sons. Both are well rounded and educated young men. But have little to no experience with situations like this. And I want them to be ready if tragedy strikes. Take away points that stand out to me: We all would take for granted is that the Police will do everything for us. Police can make mistakes. I fully support law enforcement, but they too are human. After an accident, I imagine facts can become blurred, and chaos will be at peak. Making sure there are plenty of witnesses and having their information is key. #2 Teamwork: Turning over your case to an Attorney and expecting the best possible outcome without your valued input is not practical. You must be engaged throughout the process. #3 Insurance: This book has made me revisit my coverages. Plan an in-person meeting with your agent and make sure he knows your intentions. At first glance these 50 takeaways may seem like common sense. But I don’t trust my loved ones to make the correct decisions. Emotions and adrenaline will hinder proper decision making.
