My employer hired an attorney to bring a claim against an unfair import charge on material shipped to the US. They lost the case, paid $55,000, and thought the case was closed. That was in 2002 - 2003. Now here it is almost 2007 and the insurance company for the goods says they didn't get paid and are charging a $20,000 late fee.
The attorney wants us to sign a contract making them completely released of their liability, and to pay the late fee. If not paid in 30 days the insurance co. wants $9,000 more. This is insanely rediculous to me. My employer doesn't speak or read english and almost signed it and paid the $.
I'm going to see the lawyer next week. I'm not well versed in the law. Does anyone have some advise for us?
