Re: ? for those who have been through a lawsuit

Francine is right, make sure they can see you childs injury. Most attorney's are pretty easy on children. They can't come across being mean to the jury. Good Luck.

Re: intimidating comment by vp to obpi child being bullied at school, HELP!

I would go to the media. The added bonus is that you make others aware of brachial plexus injuries, by telling the background on your child. A lot of stations will even let you or you child be anonymous. School situations like this show up on out local TV every once and awhile.
