Mr. Macfarlane serves as National Counsel for the largest basketball equipment manufacturer in the world.. He understands what you are going through because he is an accident victim himself. When he was 17 years old, he was hit on his motorcycle by a distracted driver. As a result, he had his left leg amputated 7 inches above the knee.
