In 2015, Scott Verville was driving to his elementary school teaching job when a rear-end collision pushed his vehicle into a truck. He was airlifted to a trauma center, underwent roughly eight surgeries, and spent nearly a year recovering.

Confined to bed and focused on healing, Scott and his family needed legal help that could meet them where they were. A friend recommended Canan Law. “I was hurt pretty bad,” Scott recalled.

Hear Scott share what happened next in his own words.

We Came to Him

Because Scott couldn’t move, the first meeting came to his home. Within a day of the call, Patrick Canan and two other attorneys arrived at his living room—having already reviewed the case before stepping through the door.

That preparation made an immediate impression. Scott recalled being told, “We’ve already looked at your case, the whole entire thing.” His family hired us that day.

A Working Relationship That Felt Personal

For Scott, the working relationship mattered as much as the legal process. He described something that felt different from a standard attorney-client arrangement: “It wasn’t just like you’re a client, I’m an attorney. It was caring.” We kept his family involved from beginning to end, helping them feel informed while he recovered.

The Weight That Lifted

Scott watched Patrick Canan represent him during mediation and came away impressed by the work being done on his behalf. When his case reached a settlement, the financial strain his family had been carrying eased—what Scott described as “a huge weight being lifted off you.”
