Our law firm can’t provide legal assistance for every injured accident victim who calls and asks for our assistance. The law is too complex for lawyers to maintain competence in all areas of the law. Just like you wouldn’t want your family doctor to do your open-heart surgery, you wouldn’t want a lawyer who primarily handles motor vehicle accidents to handle your complex medical malpractice claim. Since we don’t accept all types of injury claims, we have a Referral Department at FSTN. We established our Referral Department several years ago. When we can’t accept a case, we will try to help injured victims find an excellent lawyer to assist them. We have done this all over the country for hundreds of injured victims. We have the advantage of having worked with a lot of different lawyers, and we are usually able to find a skilled attorney who
can review your case and determine how it should be handled.
For example, several months ago, we helped an out-of-state family find an attorney in a case in which their local hospital committed medical negligence in delivering their baby. The hospital claimed they weren’t at fault, but after a lot of hard work, the attorney we referred was able to prove the hospital was indeed at fault. The claim settled for almost $1 million. We felt good knowing this family got some justice for the damages the hospital inflicted. So, no matter where you live or what type of injury you have suffered, give us a call. If we can’t handle the case, we will try to find the right attorney for you. Our Referral Department manager is Krista Duzan, and she can be reached at (812) 231-5128.

3. Get your seasonal books and find a fun place to read. We have armfuls of seasonal fall books that we lug around with us everywhere. We like to find different places to read, and there’s something magical about reading fall stories on a blanket under a tree as the crisp breeze swirls the colorful leaves around us. 4. Put on your comfy shoes and clothes and go for a nature walk. In the last few years, my family has started the tradition of “hunting” for acorns. Last year, we loved finding tiny acorns. We had competitions searching for the smallest, most perfect acorn. This year, we took it a step further and learned that the acorns most likely to germinate are those that sink in water. Armed with that information, we went on several acorn hunts to find sinking acorns so we can try to grow an oak tree — or two.
5. Prepare your favorite fall treat and watch a movie. We tend to go for classics like “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” but if you’re into scary movies, that works, too! 6. Enjoy the beautiful leaves. Sometimes the leaves change and fall so quickly that I regret not taking more moments to soak them in. This year, we’re enjoying the leaves when we go on walks and bike rides in our neighborhood and car rides around town. If you haven’t gone on a walk simply to crunch the leaves, please don’t wait
you have kids, or are a kid at heart, raking leaves and jumping into them is also a fall favorite around here. 7. Lastly, to make Halloween night safe (but still fun), our family will go on a spooky Halloween search for Halloween treats in our own haunted house at home. We’re hoping to get a black light and some sound effects to make this a special Halloween to remember. We also will be making small treat bags to drop off at the front doors of our closest friends and family because we like handing out treats as much as we like collecting them! No matter what you do this fall season, I hope you are granted the time and ability to feel and see the beauty that fall brings.
any longer. If you see me on a jog and running in a zigzag, you’ve probably caught me going out of my way to crunch leaves. If
