Car and Truck Accidents
While working as an Emergency Room nurse, Kathleen cared for thousands of accident victims with every imaginable injury. That experience uniquely qualifies her to instantly identify and evaluate the severity of clients' injuries and interpret X-ray, MRI and CT scan reports, without hiring costly experts.
Kathleen's clinical knowledge of critically-ill and severely-injured patients, enables her to recognize underlying, often untreated medical conditions such as sleep apnea and epileptic seizures that are major contributors to car and truck accidents.
Kathleen begins your representation with a comprehensive personal interview to discuss your injuries, the facts of your case and review of your medical records. If you do not have your records, Kathleen will order complete and certified copies. The interview can be conducted by Zoom, telephone, or in person. *Kathleen also offers home and hospital appointments.
