Car Accident
THE TOP 5 QUESTIONS ANSWERED: QUESTION 4
Another month, another answer! We’ve reached question No. 4 in our five-part series. Each question is asked by our clients, including this question below.
Kids often look up to their father as one of their greatest heroes. There are the long drives to sports tournaments, the late-night movies, and the sweets when Mom isn’t looking. We probably all have some reason to look up to our dad as one of our biggest influences. It’s Father’s Day this month, a special time of year when we take a moment to think about the sacrifices the father figures in our lives have made for us. Most dads are pretty great, but some go above and beyond the fatherly call of duty. Let’s take a look at some heroic dads who risked everything to keep their families safe. Brad Lewis: Over the Ledge Life can change in a split second, and how you choose to react in a moment of peril can define your legacy forever. Few people know this as well as Brad Lewis. When Brad and his young son, Oscar, were deeply entrenched in an intense Nerf battle, he surely didn’t think the situation would turn as dangerous as it did. When a few darts missed his father and landed on the balcony, Oscar ran after them but soon found himself teetering on the balcony’s ledge, 12 feet above the ground. Thinking fast, Brad grabbed his son just before he fell over, both taking the plunge while Brad protected his son with his own body. Just as he’d intended, Brad absorbed most of the blow. While Oscar sustained serious wounds, his father’s injuries were more severe. Brad was left fighting for his life in the ICU, with severe fractures to his skull and vertebrae. Thankfully, Brad is expected to make a full recovery and has made serious strides since the accident. He and his son will live to play another day. Greg Alexander: Couldn’t Bear to See His Son Hurt While camping in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in June 2015, Greg Alexander awoke to the sound of a nightmare. The screams of his son intermingled with the roars of an unknown assailant, beckoning Greg to his son’s tent. There, he found his son Gabriel being attacked by a bear. The bear had his son by the head and was dragging him away. Greg jumped on the bear’s back, desperately trying to take attention away from Gabriel. Amazingly, it worked, and in the end, the bear ran away. Gabriel was left with serious cuts to his head, but thanks to his dad’s heroism, the two were able to walk away from that campsite and back to their lives together. The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to take a leap of faith or fight a bear to be a hero in your family’s eyes. Just be yourself, show some support, and do the best you can. Happy Father’s Day, everybody.
How Much Is Your Fee?
At Harmonson Law Firm, we do not charge clients upfront fees. We only charge a fee if and when there is a settlement of your case or if we collect on a judgment after a lawsuit has been filed. If we are unable to get you money for your car accident, then there is no fee for our services. This type of arrangement is known as a contingent fee. A contingent fee shifts the risk of loss onto the attorney so you don’t have to worry about paying the lawyer on an hourly basis. The firm also advances all case expenses. Those case expenses are then reimbursed to the firm if and when there is a successful settlement or collected judgment. At Harmonson Law Firm, we charge the following contingent fees: • 35 percent if the car accident claim is settled before a lawsuit has to be filed • 40 percent if there is a lawsuit filed but it is settled before trial • 45 percent if there is a trial or an appeal of the case
