How wealthy do you have to be to "win" in court?
My home burned and a claim was filed. I received no response from the insurance company. After two years, I got them into court and won. It's currently on appeal.
Since I didn't have the means to hire an attorney outright, I hired one on contingency. The price was 40% if if it went to court.
A public adjuster gets 10% and combined with the attorney, that's 50% of the $224,000.00 I won.
Even had I not defaulted on the loan after the first year, that's not enough to repair the house or replace furniture or cover expenses.
A breakdown of the judgment is:
186,000 house
18,600 10% penalty for vexatious refusal to pay a claim
19,400 attorney fees (won't cover him!)
Please, what are my options?
