What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ohio
I was in two motorcycle accidents in 2006. I went to court and was awarded 250,000. The guy was only insured up to 12,500. Now my lawyers are telling me that i have to use that money to help pay off my med bills. the jury also awarded 35,000 to pay my medical bills. The man now lives in a rehab facility and doesn't have a penny to his name. My lawyers are telling me that since he has no way to pay the bills it has to come out of what little I actually got. So basically they want me to pay 35,000 to get hit by a truck. Is there something I can do about this? Its not my fault that he doesn't have a way to pay for it, I barley have any money to my name after prescriptions and surgery's. What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
