Summer might feel carefree — but it’s one of the most dangerous times to be on the road. More people are driving distracted: music up, windows down, texting at red lights, rushing to weekend plans. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, crash rates spike — especially for pedestrians and cyclists.
That’s exactly what happened to Ginner.
He’s a young guy, a hard worker juggling two jobs and giving it his all. One evening, riding his bike home after a night shift at a pizza place, a driver trying to turn into a shopping center hit him square on.
The driver said he never saw him — and probably never looked. Distracted driving is one of the biggest dangers on our roads today.
The crash knocked Ginner off his bike and left him with serious injuries that needed immediate care. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and referred to a specialist. Thankfully, that specialist focused on hand and arm injuries and knew surgery had to happen fast for Ginner to recover. Delaying surgery by just a few days might mean it was too late.
This is what happens when things go right — when the right doctor steps in at the right time. We help you find that specialist and get you there because timing can make all the difference.
Ginner took all the right steps — getting quick medical attention, following up with the right doctor, focusing on his recovery and getting us involved early so we could guide him through the process,
His surgery was successful and likely prevented significant long-term damage. His settlement with the driver’s insurance company helped cover his medical bills, the income he lost and pain and suffering and made it possible for him to get back to all the things he loved doing. A hard worker, he went back to working both jobs.
If you or someone you know is injured in a crash, the most important thing is to get medical treatment right away. Then give us a call — we’ll make sure you get the help you need to stand up to the insurance company.
