From Marathon Runner to TBI Miracle Survivor: How One Injured Woman is Defying All Odds After a Devastating DUI Crash

Part 1:

In the beautiful heart of Portland, Oregon, lived a bright young woman named Anna. Freshly graduated from Oregon State University’s esteemed education program, Anna was enthusiastic about shaping the future. She envisioned a classroom of her own, filled with eager minds waiting to be guided.

Beyond her academic pursuits, Anna also had an insatiable love for marathons. She reveled in the pounding of her feet on the pavement, the exhilarating rush of crossing the finish line. She was a paragon of determination and discipline, living her life to the fullest. Anna had beautiful long hair and she loved letting it down after her long runs.

One evening, as Anna was returning from a training run, the unexpected happened. A driver, intoxicated beyond control, smashed into her car. The violent force of the crash engulfed Anna’s world into a whirl of chaos. The radiant marathon runner, the aspiring teacher, was abruptly silenced into unconsciousness. She sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and subsequently, fell into a coma that lasted for an agonizing six months. Olga and I could not recognize her broken face. Her long hair was gone and her now bald head was covered in orange iodine. Many cords and tubes were coming out of her body.

Part 2:

The world that Anna awoke to was drastically different. The TBI had wreaked havoc on her capabilities. Walking, seeing clearly, reading, writing – skills that she once mastered were now distant, unreachable abilities. Depression closed in on her, as she mourned the life she once lived.

Yet, the same grit that once drove her across marathon finish lines spurred her to face her new reality head-on. Anna refused to surrender to her condition. She started to learn to walk, read, write, and talk again. Her family, friends, and the resilient team of therapists stood by her side, supporting her as she painstakingly relearned the skills her injury had stolen.

During this time, I, as Anna’s catastrophic personal injury attorney, committed to my mission of seeking justice for her. I relentlessly pursued the intoxicated driver, holding them accountable for the harm they had caused. I had to protect her future because what she was facing financially is difficult to put in words.

Part 3:

Anna’s journey is a marathon of its own kind, a testament to the human spirit’s indomitable strength. She faces her challenges head-on, carrying the determination of her former life into her current battle. Progress is hard-earned, but she celebrates every victory, every reclaimed ability, with gratitude.

As her personal injury attorney, it is my honor to bear witness to her incredible journey. The catastrophic car accident and the resulting TBI might have changed her life’s trajectory, but they failed to dim her spirit. Every day, Anna fights to recover, reminding us all that even in the darkest moments, determination and hope can lead us back to the light.

Got More Then 3 Times the Money the Insurance Company Was Wanting To Pay
I contacted your law firm for help after being hurt. I had been talking with the insurance company. The adjuster wanted to settle. But I was concerned that I should talk to a lawyer. Your firm represented me and got more than three times the money the insurance company was wanting to pay. I’m very thankful for the money and what you did for me.

Honest, Intelligent and Strong Attorney
I was badly injured in an auto accident. Bartley Herron persuaded the insurance company that they needed to give me the maximum settlement of insurance coverage. The money was and is very important to my family. I recommend Mr. Herron to anyone needing an honest, intelligent and strong attorney to represent them and to fight hard for them. That is what Mr. Herron did for me.

He Obtained a Settlement Much Higher Than I Had Dared To Hope For
Attorney Bart Herron was referred to me by a friend and co-worker who had been previously helped by Mr. Herron. He took my case too and obtained a settlement much higher than I had dared to hope for. I recommend him highly.

MR. HERRON STOOD UP FOR ME
I had a very difficult case because I had been injured so many times in the past. The insurance company’s lawyers tried to make fun of me and kept saying that if I was hurt then it was someone else’s fault and because of one of my old injuries. Mr. Herron put a stop to this. He forced them to deal with the damages I had. And, he made them to pay for the injuries I had now and the old injuries which were made worse. I am grateful for his strength and tack. Mr. Herron stood up for me.

Thank you so much!
Before I called the Herron Law office, I called many other personal injury law offices for free advice. I left many messages, but I received no callback. Then I called Herron Law and spoke with Olga. She spent almost an hour talking to me about my car accident case and told me what I needed to do next. She even emailed me the summary of our conversation to remind me what steps I needed to take in case I forgotten. Thank you, again.

You Always Have Our Appreciation
We cannot tell you how important it was to my family to receive the money you got us. My family and I were extremely happy when you told us how you pushed the insurance company to settle for the whole amount that they can be sued for. Your law firm did all this and we didn’t even have to go to court. You always have our appreciation.

DO YOU WANT TO WIN?
Sometimes it takes more than a well-rounded education, years of experience, and an understanding of the psychology that separates prosecution from defense . . . sometimes it takes Guts to stay the course! We initially chose Mr. Herron based on AVVO reviews, his years of experience, his area of expertise, and even his physical appearance bearing in mind how our son might receive and interact with Mr. Herron and how Mr. Herron’s appearance might be perceived in the courtroom by juror’s.

The Settlement... Was Much Better Than Anything The Insurance Company Had Offered Me
I recommend Herron Law, LLC to everyone. I was hurt in a car accident and the insurance company tried to get me to settle without talking to an attorney. I am glad that I talked with you instead. The settlement your people obtained for me was much better than anything the insurance company had offered me. It turned out that I went through an unexpected hardship right after the car accident. I ended up really needing the extra money. Thanks for all of your help and concern.
