📄 2015-05-03 Dana Wilson vs Ann Smith – Motorcycle Accident
Injured near a religious institution that turned a blind eye. This case shows the intersection of pain, faith, and the fight for justice against denial.
This case stemmed from a severe motorcycle accident that occurred near the Springfield CVS Pharmacy near Wabash Ave and MacArthur Blvd, a site symbolically tied to silence during a time when truth and accountability were needed most. I sustained seven broken bones, hyperextension of my right knee, and required multiple surgeries that led to a prolonged and painful recovery, both physically and emotionally.
The legal proceedings extended over several years and generated a voluminous record, including medical documentation, depositions, and expert evaluations. While I am not publishing the full documentation at this time, I feel it is important to acknowledge the event due to the significant financial implications it carried—a total settlement exceeding one million dollars. Of that, approximately 40% went to my attorney, Kurt Koepke. Despite being under no obligation, I gave over $80,000 to Charles Wilson—my former spouse—out of goodwill and compassion, even after our divorce had been finalized.
This chapter of my life is marked by both trauma and transformation. Though the physical wounds have largely healed, the deeper journey of emotional restoration continues, and this case remains an important marker on the timeline of my story.
