Holding Profit-Driven Companies Accountable

  • I was a passenger in a small helicopter when suddenly it went out of control and literally fell out of the sky. We crashed into a neighborhood near a hospital. The pilot died on impact. I was lucky enough to survive, but with extensive injuries. We hired Mr. Pokorny to figure out what happened, and to get me compensated for my losses. He did both, and very capably.
