Testimonials
- A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...
- Robert Nutting - My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...
- Cheryl H - I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.
- Evie Newbold - Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...
- Rick Kelley - As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

Accident in Vermont Blamed on Distracted Driver
Posted on Apr 21, 2009
A Massachusetts woman recently pled innocent to charges of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle, serious bodily injury resulting; negligent operation and reckless endangerment.
The accident occurred when the driver took her eyes off of the road to examine her GPS system. When she did her vehicle struck Bradford Greene, 71, of Dummerston, VT. Greene is a political science teacher at Keene State College in Keene, NH and sustained injures to his head, chest, pelvis and arm.
The driver, Cherish Carlin, 19, and a passenger in the vehicle did not sustain any injuries. Greene was airlifted to a Massachusetts hospital after the accident. He was heading south on Route 5 when he was struck by Carlin's vehicle.
Windham County State's Attorney Tracy Shriver stated that Carlin was a distracted driver.
A recent government study shows that drowsy and distracted drivers cause 80% of all traffic accidents nationwide. The study also found that even technology designed to help a driver, such as GPS systems, can cause accidents if the driver is paying attention to the device and not the road.
After Carlin pleaded innocent to the charges she was released on $2,500 bail.
