Wisconsin Personal Injury Lawyer Shares Inspiring Story
Success story of Wisconsin car accident survivor
On behalf of Milwaukee personal injury attorney Ric Domnitz of Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, December 12, 2012.
Often, talk of health care reform and improved education from politicians begins to sound trite and like more promises from figures that are mostly looking to secure votes rather than effect reform. These topics can begin to feel like buzz words that are used to sway a voter, but ultimately won’t mean much.
Not to a 32-year-old woman from Antigo, Wisconsin, that has been unofficially voted into the Arizona legislator. The woman has lived through the struggles she aims to reform for others. After graduating from Elcho High School in 1997, the woman was with a male friend when the pair was in a car accident after their vehicle traveled off of a dark road after a graduation party. Unknown to the two travelers, the vehicle struck a utility pole, knocking a live power line to the ground.
Investigators think the pair, uninjured on impact and able to leave the vehicle, were holding hands when the male friend stepped on the live wire. He died instantly from the electrical shock, and the young woman suffered extremely serious injuries. She had to quickly be airlifted to University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison. When she was well enough to go home, the young woman had significant scaring, lost an arm and was legally blind due to cataracts developed from the shock.
This young woman had just graduated high school. That is an age at which a young adult reaches a crossroads, they leave behind childhood and venture off into a new chapter. This woman had her plans radically altered from her intended course, but she did not let this stop her. She went to college, graduated not only on time and with a double major, but was the first in her family to graduate with a bachelor degree. Then she went on to get an advanced degree and now she has seen success in her campaign.
Typically, we detail terrible accidents in which individuals and families have their lives profoundly disrupted by car accidents. Today, while the events detailed above outline a horrific accident, there is a message of hope and inspiration in what one car accident victim form Wisconsin has continued to be able to accomplish in her life despite the misfortune that found her.
