Letter of Appreciation Sent to Mr. Van
Der Walde
July 24, 2005
Dear Paul,
This is a belated, but nonetheless very sincere, letter of appreciation
for your excellent handling of the complexities of insurance coverage
and for recovering substantial damages for my personal injuries and
property loss following my biking accident that occurred on July 13,
2003. I frequently mentally replay that incident, involving being "rear-ended"
in a well-marked bike lane by an uninsured driver who, as result, was
arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. As you know, I
sustained severe injuries that included soft tissue, nerve and cervical
damage. The latter required fusion of the C-6 and C-7 vertebrae. Unfortunately,
the damage to the C-7 nerve has not healed, notwithstanding the neurosurgeon's
valiant attempts to free-up the passage of the nerve through the vertebrae.
In all, I do realize I am very lucky to have survived the accident.
But I also realize that, in turning to you to handle all of the legal
issues that arose out of the accident, I saved myself considerable mental
and emotional grief, as a result of which I am sure my recovery was
hastened. As a fellow attorney who specializes in an entirely different
field of law, I knew full well that the adage about representing one's
own interests (fool for a client, etc.) would apply. However, also as
an attorney, I can appreciate all the more the skill and experience
that you brought to my case.
Aside from the limitations upon recovery and the complexities of uninsured
motorist's law, you developed a legal strategy that provided the greatest
recovery against competing and recalcitrant insurance companies as well
as Medicare. Your research of unsettled questions of coverage followed
by skillful advocacy of our legal rights successfully convinced the
insurers involved in the case that settlement on our terms was in their
own best interests.
For your efforts I am profoundly grateful. I would be pleased to recommend
your representation, as indeed I have, to others who find themselves
in need of legal assistance in your field of practice.
Best personal regards.
David E. Schricker
