Al McMahon Lost Leg in NDOT Snowplow Incident

Donation protected
I am raising money for expenses incurred when my life changed in an instant on March 22, 2018.  I was on my way to work when I was hit by a careless, drug-impaired NDOT snowplow driver, which resulted in losing my left foot and lower leg.  I am a master carpenter and am now unable to work, plus my retirement has been wiped out.

The State of Nevada restricts by law the liability incurred by any acts of its employees to $100,000, regardless of gross negligence or severity of damage of crimes; because my medical bills and liens far exceed this amount, I have received no compensation from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), nor anyone else, for my very serious, life-changing injuries.

Here are some links to my story:

The money will go towards paying my daily living and medical-related expenses, such as gasoline to travel to my physical therapy appointments. Thank you for your consideration.
