Do you know the name of the lawyer ?

Do you know the name of the insurance company ?
They will tell you the name of the lawyer.

Did you check the state's unclaimed money section ?
If the lawyer couldn't locate his client, s/he should have turned over the money to the state (it escheats to the state).

Do you have any documentation, at all, about the 'wreck' ?
A police report to identify the cause ?
A bill for dr's fees among your mom's paperwork ? (The dr was paid by the lawyer or the ins. co).
A newspaper report stating the names of the parties ?
Any correspondence from the lawyer or the ins co or the dr in your mom's paperwork ?

When you locate the name of the attorney, contact them & if you do not get immediate resolution, contact the Tenn State Bar at:

and advise them of the problem.
