What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi
My husband lost his leg in a freak accident and was paying for long term disability at work. after the accident SSDI was immediately approved and money paid back to insurance company. due to the Fact our home is not accessible for my husbands wheelchair (when not using prosthetic limb) we have been offered a pay out of $64,000. the problem is the insurance company owes us $240,000 in payments until my husband is 65 which is 25 years from now. my question is will getting a lawyer force the insurance lawyer to negotiate a higher (FAIR) price or are our hands tied? he say he might willing to up one more percent but this may be a negotiation tactic.
lost and confused and would appreciate any advice....
