Dee came to our office after suffering serious injuries in a tram accident. Dee is a senior who, sadly, was thrown across a tram when she was trying to get to her seat. The tram driver took off, as though driving a race car and not as a means of transport for our community. We achieved for her a serious injury certificate and compensation that was generous. What Dee remembers in that whole time is...
