Health is Wealth

It's very true when people say "Health is wealth." I came to the conclusion that we living beings are actually very weak. A slight knock on the head could kill some people. A small bang on our leg could break it.

A few months ago, a hawker who plies his trade at a wet market close to my home was involved in an accident. It was a horrifying tragedy and doctors had to remove almost his whole leg because it was crushed.

For some time, his family was "lost" which the sudden turn of events. They lost income because this accident victim is the breadwinner. At the same time, they were digging into their savings to pay his medical bills.

Things would have been different if they had access to free legal consultation on personal injury like it is being offered by the Omaha Personal Injury Attorney of Demerath Law Office but no, they had to pay for legal advice as well until they managed to claim compensation from the insurance company. I understand that it was not that much as well and they had to depend on welfare aid.

It's really sad, isn't it?
