Meet Pam: Another Hensley Success Story

February 26, 2026

Pam drives the same route every time she visits her daughter, and the trip is usually uneventful, though it was incredibly eventful one evening in the fall of 2024.

That was when a woman suddenly made a left turn directly in front of Pam as she was traveling southbound on Kentucky Avenue right outside of Camby, IN and caused a violent T-bone collision.

Multiple Arm Fractures and Nerve Damage

Pam’s airbags deployed, filling the air around her with powdery smoke that at first gave her the impression that the car was on fire, and she could tell that her left arm was in poor shape from the moment she glanced down at it.

Her suspicions were confirmed when she arrived at the hospital and was told that she had broken her thumb, her elbow, and her wrist in two places. But despite undergoing three separate surgeries, she continues to suffer from long-term nerve damage.

While she considered herself lucky to be alive, Pam had no doubt that she had an uphill battle ahead of her, particularly after she found out that the at-fault driver didn’t have any insurance on her vehicle.

“This Type of Thing Can Happen to Anyone”

Enduring massive strain on her bank account and facing an uncertain future that threatened to put her and the people she loved at risk, Pam made a fateful choice that ended up making all the difference.

“I never saw myself in the position of needing to contact a law firm that specializes in personal injury, but this type of thing can happen to anyone,” she said. “I remembered seeing Hensley signs around the city and decided to call to see if an Indiana car accident lawyer could help me.”

Attorney Anthony Miller and case manager Sarah Coffey were assigned to Pam’s claim, and before she knew it they were off to the races, doing everything in their power to protect her financial well-being.

At the same time, Pam felt that her emotional well-being was just as much of a priority, noting that her legal team “was always quick to return my calls and emails and maintained an open line of communication, so I didn’t feel kept in the dark about what was going on behind the scenes.”

Making the Best of Her New Reality

As Anthony and Sarah were trying to get Pam’s insurance company to compensate her for the full spectrum of her losses, Pam was trying to make the best of her new reality.

“There are so many things you don’t think about in these situations, like not being able to hold my newborn grandchildren and change their diapers or having to miss three months of work due to my injury,” she explained. “I was also afraid to get behind the wheel again, so I started seeing a therapist to help with the anxiety of driving.”

Pam wasn’t the only one who was forced to deal with the aftermath of the crash either. Her husband had to take time off from his job too to get her to her physical therapy appointments three times a week as well as pitch in with the household chores that she couldn’t do while she was healing.

Finally Feeling Like Herself Again

Fortunately, Hensley was able to settle Pam’s car accident claim in less than six months, securing an uninsured motorist settlement that was more than enough to replace her totaled car and take care of the many medical expenses that she had accumulated. And by the one-year anniversary of her auto accident, Pam was finally feeling like herself again.

“I’m pretty much back to normal, but it was tough because I never imagined I would have to deal with all that,” she said. “If Hensley wasn’t fighting for me, I would have been on my own completely. My amazing legal team kept me from being taken advantage of.”
