Lionel Smith's Brain Injury Accident. Lionel Smith is a 32-year-old single father who has lived in California all his life.
His son has just turned eight and Lionel earns a decent living as a copywriter who does most of his work from their two-bedroom home. He has recently cashed out some of his investments at just the right time: He’s decided to use the money from his successful investments to take his son on a short holiday to a California hotel – and if there’s any money left over after this, he would like to invest some of it again to ensure that his son has a stronger chance at a future when he goes to college one day. The first day at the hotel is nothing short of spectacular: Lionel realizes just why people love the California beachfront as much as they do. He spends a great day at the beach with his son and even lands a few great pitch e-mails while they’re spending time on the beach.
