The Incident
In the overnight hours of August 14, 2012, Jeff, a tow truck driver, responded to a stranded motorist call on Ohio’s 80/90 turnpike. Despite taking all necessary safety precautions, a tractor-trailer veered off the road, crashing into the vehicle Jeff was preparing to tow. The impact pushed the car forward, pinning Jeff between his tow truck and the other vehicle. This crash resulted in the loss of both his legs.
The Turning Point: Bringing Michael Onboard
The gravity of the crash spurred a legal battle, in which the other attorneys Jeff initially hired to handle the case asked Toledo truck crash attorney, Michael Leizerman, to join the team to advocate for Jeff.
Once involved, it was immediately clear that Mr. Leizerman’s presence favorably shifted the trajectory of Jeff’s truck accident lawsuit. His profound legal expertise and empathetic approach were pivotal, providing Jeff with hope for a positive outcome in his case.
Comprehensive Support Beyond the Courtroom
Michael's commitment to Jeff's well-being extended beyond the courtroom. Understanding the profound impact Jeff's injuries would have on his future, he arranged for Jeff to attend a specialized rehabilitation center in Oklahoma, where Jeff received tailored physical and emotional support. This critical step helped Jeff significantly in both physical and emotional healing, allowing him to meet and share experiences with others facing similar challenges.
Excellence in the Courtroom
Michael Leizerman's expertise did not just come in the form of managing the complexities of the legal process, but in understanding the human element of Jeff’s case.
To this day, Jeff praises Michael's skillful advocacy at trial, highlighting his ability to communicate effectively and connect with jurors. Jeff feels that not only did Michael’s influence sway the outcome of his claim favorably, but also restored his faith in justice.
