This week Valerie Johnson presented sex abuse lawyer Seth Langson and advocate Robby Price the Kelly Crabtree Award at the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Convention. Seth sometimes works with CJG sex abuse lawyer, Leto Copeley, protecting the rights of crime victims. Here are her remarks:
I have the distinct honor of presenting the Kelly Crabtree award to Seth Langson and to Robby Price.
The Kelly Crabtree award is given to an attorney and to his client where the client’s story and the attorney’s representation made a big difference in protecting people’s rights.
Kelly Crabtree sustained life threatening injuries caused by a NC Department of Transportation truck crossing the yellow line on a mountain road. Ms. Crabtree’s damages were capped at $150,000 under the State Tort Claims Act, despite the more than $275,000 in medical bills the crash caused. Her lawyer John McCabe led the charge to change the cap to $500,000 and to make it apply retroactively to Ms. Crabtree’s case. The result of that fight and the strength of that story have helped many others in the state and inspired this award.
Seth Langson is a Charlotte attorney who has represented sexual abuse victims for 30 years. His work is his passion, and his passion is protecting those who have been abused, often children, from their abusers.
