One Family's Real-Life Insurance Nightmare Everything seemed to be going well for Helen Rose's 26-year-old daughter Johnna. She had a good job with an insurance company, and her future looked bright...that is, until the accident. Nothing will ever be the same after that, as Johnna and her mother, Helen, become trapped in a disastrous war with lawyers and insurers, trying to get the compensation and treatment that Johnna and her mother so desperately need. Struggling with physical injuries and PTSD, Johnna and Helen try to navigate the politics and pitfalls supposedly designed to weed out the fakers from those who are legitimately injured, but they find that it's not so simple. The courts and the lawyers are all looking out for themselves, and two women who are at the mercy of the system discover that advocating for their rights is a frightening, disheartening, full-time job. If you've ever been taken for a ride by the legal system, you'll know you're not alone...and if you haven't, Shut Up, Helen can provide the eye-opening truth that you or someone you love may need someday, to fight your own battle.
