The Best in The Business
At the darkest and coldest point of the year my wife sustained life threatening injuries as the pedestrian victim to a 17-year-old driver whose car, which was travelling at 62 mph, began to spin out of control. Shattered bones, severed ligaments, wounds requiring over 150 stitches and staples, but the one injury with the greatest effect was my wife’s brain injury. Her subarachnoid brain haemorrhage was the most unpredictable and most difficult injury to treat, and the effect of her acquired brain injury still is her biggest challenge in life to this day.
It was a few days after the crash that the police family liaison officer came to the Intensive Care Unit and asked to speak to me about the incident. At that point it occurred to me that we might need some legal advice, so I contacted a few trusted friends and asked if they knew anyone who could help us.
Susan Todhunter of FBC Manby Bowlder in Wolverhampton was recommended to me as “The Best in The Business”. We soon met at the hospital and that is when our wonderful new solicitor began to change our lives for the better in ways that we could not imagine were even possible.
Susan Todhunter was at the end of the phone 24 hours and day, 7 day a week, 52 weeks of the year. She empathetically guided us through complex processes of recovery, rehabilitation, specialist resources and selecting the best therapists and support. When I use the term ‘us’, I actually mean the whole family benefited from her help.
The litigation case was handled very professionally, and with great care and sensitivity throughout.
I wholeheartedly recommend Susan Todhunter of FBC Manby Bowdler.
