Steve Miller – Client Testimonial
“My name is Steve Miller. I’m a retired pastor in Hickory, North Carolina.
I was on my way to work when a 16-year-old driver veered into my lane, causing a head-on collision. The injuries were severe. I suffered a broken right ankle that required plates and screws, a broken and dislocated left wrist with plates and screws, a fractured left ankle, a damaged right wrist, a dislocated thumb, an injured knee, and a broken collarbone. I also had nerve damage, a wrist hematoma, leg abrasions, and post-concussion syndrome.
I’ve had two surgeries so far, with another one still ahead. I live with constant pain, severe headaches I never had before, back and hip pain, and limited mobility. My active life was put completely on hold, and doctors say recovery could take another year.
When we were choosing a law firm, we initially planned to go with someone local. We contacted Shane Smith Law and assumed we would be working directly with Shane Smith. When we learned that wasn’t the case, I was disappointed at first. But then we met Carolyn Ibsen at the Charlotte office. After speaking with her and doing our research, we chose her to represent us. That turned out to be one of the best decisions we have ever made.
Carolyn and her team fought for us. They helped us carry a tremendous burden we never expected to face. She was honest, trustworthy, and handled our case with integrity and compassion. She made us feel important, and that meant everything.
They helped us manage overwhelming medical bills and financial stress. We were initially told the case could cost around $200,000, with only $100,000 in available coverage. We were deeply concerned. But Carolyn and her team worked tirelessly and were able to secure additional compensation beyond what we thought was possible.
My advice is simple. Run to Shane Smith Law. Do your research, then have confidence in your choice. We tried to handle this on our own, but once I saw the weight this placed on my wife, I knew we needed professional help.
Every person we spoke with at Shane Smith Law was kind, informative, and genuinely cared. They made an incredibly difficult process manageable, and we are truly grateful.”
