Michael A. Caglioti was a partner at a large DC law firm. He also had a neuromuscular condition that required him to use a wheelchair. One day his motorized wheelchair malfunctioned and dumped him into a busy street. He had two broken legs and many serious complications from his treatment in the hospital.
Thus, a lawyer became a client. In an essay about his experience, he describes the disappointing performance of the first two personal injury lawyers he hired. A third was successful in a lawsuit against the wheelchair manufacturer. Taking the Stand: Role Reversal: One Attorney's Tempestuous Voyage as a Client, Washington Lawyer, Jan. 2005.
