Skiatook Teen Reflects On Lake Tubing Accident One Year Later

Life is getting back to normal for a Skiatook teenager who was hurt in a tubing accident last summer that caused her to lose her ability to walk and see.

https://www.newson6.com/story/62fd387e780b4b072509d8f4/skiatook-teen-reflects-on-lake-tubing-accident-one-year-later

It took a lot of time, re-learning a lot of motor skills, and she lost almost a year of school, but she is now basically back to her pre-accident self.

I’d be happy to put you in touch with my friend, I’m sure he’d be willing to talk and share what they went through, what specialists and care were most helpful, etc.

Hate to bring this in, but is there a lawsuit to get school’s insurance to help with the years of care she MAY need?

Might still consult a lawyer. Usually free and there is sometimes negligence of which we are unaware. Not saying to sue

Another option is to make a claim with the schools insurance. Often they want to give you something to assure you

She actually deferred to my FIL and MIL. They told her to give it a week, and she ended up waiting about 10 days before
