Even though the person you hit only has 30k in health costs and 6k in lost wages you still need to factor in pain and suffering and potential future medical costs. A broken femur (the femur is the hardest bone in your body to break), plus surgery, I would think is worth the 100k. Most cases...

I'm with Gail, what options are you looking for? I'm assuming you had sex with your full consent, I don't see any reason why he would need to pay you for having an abortion? Not to mention, he may be able to pull something out of his hat, such as claiming the affair never happened and it's not...

You need to consult a personal injury attorney. If you're not comfortable with the one you originally talked to, find another one. There are so many of them out there it shouldn't be a problem. There is no way to tell you what a ballpark settlement would be without reviewing all aspects of the...

There is no way to pull out a random number to tell you what a reasonable settlement would be without reviewing all aspects of the claim. If you believe your daughters finger will not be the same you should probably get documentation of this from a doctor, also, I would consult an attorney if...

They can do that. A lapse in treatment will screw up your claim everytime.

How can anyone confidently say they have no bugs? Did they have this in writing?

Your insurance company should have lawyers to defend you. That is their duty to you as you are their insured. Even if they denied the claim. I don't think they are really suing YOU directly. Probably your insurance company but they still have to notify you of the suit.

You can most definitely fire your current attorney. Honestly, I would. 7.5 months with absolutely no contact is a bit much. I go weeks without contact my clients but certainly not that long. If you consult another attorney who decides to take on the case they will send a letter to the former...
