About a week ago I followed up with my attorney because I read that once an amount is agreed upon by both parties that the person suing (me in this case) has to sign something to say I won't sue anymore. However when I spoke with my attorney's assistant a week ago I was told my attorney's...

Thank you, and thank you for all your advice!

Since I haven't signed anything yet i'll make a post on here after I do, just to be safe. All I can is my lawyers were able to negotiate with some of my medical bills which was a huge help.

I just met with my lawyers, they asked me to come in, which I thought was strange at 1st, and I have great news. I guess an audio recording of the conversation between the police and the defendant was found somehow and it has the defendant lying on it, and the officers describing how the...

Update: About a week ago I get a call from my lawyer's assistant. She tells me a trail date will be set sometime the following week and my lawyer would like to meet with me a day before to discuss things. It was good to hear this case would finally be resolved because I've stressed night and day...

Great, so it looks like i'm just at the mercy of this insurance company. I wouldn't wish any of this on my worst enemy.

My lawyer wants it. He says that after he gets it the other side will be more likely to talk about a settlement. The thing is who knows if this doctor still lives here or is even willing to be a part of this at all. What's the worse that can happen by sending a demand letter? Either they agree...

Here's an update on my situation. I went and spoke with my lawyers yesterday, I didn't really get the results I wanted, then again I was very nervous and didn't want to come off rude. So my lawyer basically says that the lawyer speaking with the adjuster wrote up a post-mediation report so the...

I'll be sure to ask him. After doing some research it looks like in personal injury cases it's the punitive damages that are taxed, when a person acts with malice or intent, this doesn't seem to be the case. But thanks for letting me know about that. As far as changing my life, I certainly think...

The offer was made based on the medical bills and I guess the nature of the accident. I wont divulge too much about details but the person driving was very negligent because they hit me when I was in plain sight, meaning they probably weren't looking where they were going and they were on the...

Well by doing my math, (and I did change some of the numbers out of fear the opposing side may come across this posts), If I get a 325k settlement, I could get about 60k after all the bills and lawyers are paid off. That's more money that I make in 2 years and would allow me to make major...

Hmmm, I did not know I had this option. I think the number that i'm happy with is somewhere between 300k to 325k, which isn't that far from the 250k offer, if my mediator was being honest in saying that she wanted to offer me more than that. Anything more than 325k isn't really necessary in my...

Yes it was, unfortunately I'm only allowed to make 5 posts a day, I won't be able to respond to their posts in another 12 hours.

South Carolina About 3 years ago I was involved in an accident, where I was hit by a car resulting in a bone fracture and open surgery, I was put out of work for several months. My case was accepted by a law firm and it's taken a very long time because many of the lawyers on the case ended up...
