New Jersey
I was hit with a tire on my left leg causing bursitis in my ankle and flare ups of swelling and buckling in my knee. I have gone to several doctors that have not helped. My current doctor is sending me for a orthroscopy. To see what is causing the swelling and buckling. My current lawyer has not listened to my no's I said no to arbitration, a settlement conference but yet forces me to go, the merchant has offered 100k but after my medical Bill's, disability, and my current surgery isnt even added to my medical Bill's I will be left with 25k. I'm 24 years old and I feel that my lawyer is not concerned about my future. At our last meeting his boss told me I was stupid to not take the offer of 100k, and told me he was withdrawing from the case but I have yet to be notified that he has done filed. I'm stressing because I keep getting turned away from other lawyers and dont know my options at this point? Do I settle and down the line have to use the 25k for more medical bills? Can I find someone else to assist me? Also he is now asking that I pay 13,000 for my doctor's to show for trial. I have lost all confidence in my lawyer and now stuck at this point.
