What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I was in an accident about 2 years ago. I was the 3rd person the other driver had hit that month so the insurance company did not want to pay. I had some injuries and had to end up hiring an attorney. I only wanted them to pay my medical bills, car damage, and lost wages, basically I just wanted to be made whole and not jerk the insurance company. Against my lawyers advice I told him to settle when they offered the amount that covered everything I had lost.
Now its been about 3 weeks since the insurance company deposited the money into the lawyers escrow account and I've been calling to ask when the doctors will get paid because I owe people and the lawyer told me not to pay the bills out of my pocket. The last time I contacted the lawyers office one of the young ladies in the office said she doesn't know when she will get to disbursing for my case because she is working on cases more important than mine with bigger issues than mine and it was 6 people ahead of me. Is there a set amount of time for the attorney to disburse the claim?
Throughout this I have been in touch with all the doctors letting them know the status of the case and some of them even reduced the bill for me because they said that I was being genuine about attempting to pay them and not trying to get out of my obligation.
