As a child, Elizabeth learned firsthand the devastating impact of medical negligence when her uncle was paralyzed as a result of a physician’s gross error. When the medical provider failed to accept responsibility, her uncle was forced to hire a medical malpractice attorney. The attorney demanded accountability from the physician and obtained justice for her uncle. The resulting settlement allowed her uncle to live an independent and meaningful life, with access to adapted vehicles and the modification of his home. Elizabeth was struck by how the plaintiff’s attorney leveled the playing field for her uncle against the medical provider and his insurer.. More than twenty years after her uncle was paralyzed, Elizabeth is trying to level the playing field for her seriously injured clients. Since joining PCVA after law school, Elizabeth has dedicated her practice to helping people who, like her uncle, have suffered catastrophic damages at the hands of others..

Additionally, Elizabeth obtained a $300,000 verdict on behalf of a student diagnosed with autism who was aggressively harassed and bullied by fellow high school students, resulting in longstanding psychological trauma. While acting as lead counsel, she also won an important verdict against a hospital for negligently discharging a patient suffering mental illness who subsequently injured himself..
