I continue to convalesce though now I am out of the hospital, back home with my family, and returning to work well in a wheelchair. I thank God that my injuries are not more severe because, as a trial lawyer, I have the unfortunate experience of sitting across the table from people who have suffered even worse life altering, or life ending experiences.
My own collision and injuries deepen my passion and conviction to help those who find themselves in the situation through no fault of their own.I’m learning a lot about disability access, things you don’t think about until you are confinement in a wheelchair and have to make your way about in a world designed for those who walk. You can bet that some of my upcoming columns will address issues relating to disability rights. As I learn more I will share with each of you so that we can all understand our rights and responsibilities.
