""I wasn't able to support my family, and it has been a very difficult road, especially having to be on medication every day and having to continue to go to therapy for pain," Schinina said as she stood with Litchmore and other victims, plus victims advocates to oppose Hochul's proposal."
""The lawmakers need to understand that this isn't abstract," added Litchmore. "This is real [people's] lives.""
Jermaine Lichtmore and Lynette Schinina, both victims of car accidents, expressed their struggles with ongoing pain and financial difficulties due to injuries. Lichtmore suffered multiple broken bones and lost his job, while Schinina underwent multiple surgeries and lost her home. They opposed Governor Hochul's proposal to reduce car insurance costs, which they believe would make it harder for victims to receive full compensation. Legislative alternatives aim to lower rates without penalizing victims based on personal factors.
