The year 2014 is on its way out the door.� The year�s end usually causes people to declare the preceding year �a year of change.�� If you concentrate hard enough (yes, I have trouble with that sometimes), you start to notice that every single day brings change.� Change comes in many forms.
Unfortunately, some people suffer change in the form of loss.� There is nothing that can be said or done to ease the pain of loss. Whether you lost a loved one, your pinkie finger, or your favorite�chap-stick, loss is never easy.
As a personal injury attorney, every client that I represent has lost something.� I have seen people suffer the loss/death of their spouse because of an accident.� Yes, I had a client that lost a pinkie finger in a beer bottle accident.� Some clients just simply lose the enjoyment of everyday normal living because of a twinge or pain in a body part.� All of these losses are different in magnitude, yet similar in many ways.
I believe that part of my role as a personal injury lawyer is to provide counseling to clients.� Yes, of course, I counsel them legally, but I gain the most satisfaction in getting thanks from clients that say I helped them learn to live better with their situation.� It has nothing to do with the monies they may have recovered or the outstanding medical care they received.� (Ahem, notice that I left out �outstanding legal service�).� It has more to do with the friendship that we have forged in dealing with the sensitive situation.� I become part of their family and vice versa.
So here is what I wish for everyone that suffered a loss in 2014, whether The Parian Law Firm, LLC represented you or anyone else:� Let�s resolve to make 2015 a better year.� Sounds simple right?� Not so fast.� Every day in 2015 is a rung on the ladder of the year.� Attempt to take that step upward each day.� You may fall every once in a while, but continue climbing.� It takes willpower to believe that it will get better.
