Before his motorcycle accident, Matt would go hunting, fishing, and ATVing with his friends. Afterwards, Matt had to undergo a lower leg amputation and he wondered what kind of life he could have. Bedridden and in chronic pain, Matt had a hard time imagining that he’d enjoy things like ATVing again. Thomson Rogers found Matt an operation in Australia that helped bring his activity level back to normal. Matt’s family helped him focus on his health because Thomson Rogers took care of winning his case.
Before his motorcycle accident, Matt would go hunting, fishing, and ATVing with his friends. But in the aftermath of his accident, Matt had to undergo a lower leg amputation which left him wondering if he would ever ride again. Bedridden and in chronic pain, it seemed impossible. But by working with David MacDonald, a partner at the law firm of Thomson Rogers, Matt was able to focus on his health because David took care of his claim. And we’re happy to report that Matt is back on his ATV.

Mr. David MacDonald is a hard working caring and sincere lawyer. I highly recommend David to anyone who has car accident or personal injury.
Today is the seventh anniversary of my accident. I reflect often on a most fortunate recovery, particularly as this time of year must weigh heavily on the driver who caused the event & lost her mother. I am sure my survival was due to the quick action of an off duty policeman & the help he was able to summons. I have no recollection of the jaws of life only a face at my window giving encouragement, the helicopter from highway 89 to Sunnybrook is vague as was the signing of a consent to operate & the ten days hooked up to a lung machine & my many shattered bones. My arrival at the wonderful St. Johns, I suspect, was due in part to the very nice case worker who got me there & also retrieved my jewelry. I would like to have properly thanked them both.
I was well looked after – a nice roommate, excellent care as well as continual support from fellow Anglicans plus many other good friends who visited, setting up bridge games & a fun 75th birthday party. Fortunately, this enabled me to truly accept the things I could not change & get on with the rigor of exercises, mental & physical this still took three months mostly in a wheel chair. My kids laughed that “only their mother would take that long to drive from The Blue Mts. to Toronto”. I had three more months of sleeping in my dining room & being monitored by care givers daily, with lots of physiotherapy. Like most happenings in my life I felt totally responsible for my well being & accepted the challenge, our fine health care system can do just so much.
I am truly grateful for these past seven years particularly as I was able to get back to driving, which is one of my main volunteer functions to-day.
This past May I broke my hip (my 12th fracture) while convening a coffee hour at church, once again I was lucky with immediate surgery, home within the week & managed to enjoy my already planned Holland American trip to The Yukon & Alaska in August.
So thank you for all your efforts on my behalf have not forgotten Barbara & Michael & do appreciate the opportunity you provided to express my gratitude.
Sincere best wishes for 2012 & future success.
