I'm just curious because my brother used to work for a VERY good attorney who handles cases like this one.

He lives in Dallas. Let me know if you'd like some info about him. (You can pm me if you want.)

Either way, I hope things work out for this person. It's hard enough to go through something like that without having to worry about paying for it. (Just like the bad old days before Obamacare.)
