My name is Veronica M. and I can honestly say the day my son Tim was injured was the most frightening day of my life. I couldn’t concentrate on anything for months but getting Tim better. I needed to find someone to handle my case so I could take care of my son. I called Brown & Crouppen and they took care of everything.

It was moving day and I was packing my car with my mother in the alley next to her house. I had brought Tim, almost two at the time, out with us because no one was inside to watch him. I noticed that our neighbor’s dog was in the back yard next door but I was not concerned because he was behind a chain link fence. As my mother and I turned away to place a box in the car I heard Tim scream. I will never forget the sight for as long as I live. There was a lot of blood and Tim was screaming loudly. The dog had squeezed his upper body through a hole between the fence and the gate and had managed to grab Tim’s arm. He was being shook back and forth like a rag doll. Somehow we managed to get Tim’s arm out of the dog’s mouth and rushed him to Cardinal Glennon. The doctors said he had a severe crush injury and they had to stitch up the large gashes in his arm.

I was a wreck worrying about him and I knew I did not have any money to take care of the medical bills. I had to get an attorney to help me. I called Brown & Crouppen and they tracked down the owner and got in contact with the insurance company. I was so relieved that I could now concentrate on Tim.

Tim recovered but still has the scars to remind him of that day. My attorney settled my case and I didn’t have to worry about any medical bills. Tim received a settlement, which was invested in an account, and when he turns eighteen he will have enough money to pay for college. I could not of asked for a better ending.
