In April 2012, a Columbia woman (Ms. C) was on the way to spend time with her grandchildren when a reckless driver hit her from behind. The rear-end collision caused immediate neck pain. The pain worsened over time, and Ms. C's doctor recommended surgery due to spinal cord compression. However, Ms. C had previously undergone multiple hip surgeries and was afraid to undergo a neck operation. In her words, "I'm scared. I don't want anyone cutting on my neck, but if this pain doesn't get better, I won't have a choice."

In early 2014, Ms. C's neck pain had yet to subside, so she allowed her neurosurgeon to perform an anterior cervical discectomy. The operation is common, but frightening nonetheless. Fortunately, the surgery was a success, and though Ms. C had to remain in her home for more than a month recuperating and struggling to regain her speaking ability, much of the pain is gone. I am also glad to say that Ms. C has regained her voice, and was very happy when her case settled for significantly more money than she expected.

Car wrecks like Ms. C's - whether it be a rear-end, T-bone, or head-on collision - can devastate a person's health and wellbeing. And while not all stories have a happy ending, no case should end with injustice.
