A collision with a semi-trailer truck at Wal Mart where she worked left 52-year-old Deborah Shank permanently brain-damaged and in a wheelchair.
Her husband, Jim, and three sons found a small source of solace: a $700,000 accident settlement from the trucking company involved. After legal fees the remaining $417,000 was to be used for Mrs. Shank's care.
Wal Mart sued the Shanks for the $470,000 it had spent already on her medical care. A federal judge ruled last year in Wal-Mart's favor.
If the money goes to Wal Mart, what will she use for expensive future care?
