Your lawyer may have been looking at everything correctly I'm sad to say.  You're obviously suing for money damages.  Your attorney was probably working on a contingency basis (taking a percentage of what the final verdict/award is).  Then, during the scope of investigations he finds there are no "deep pockets"... no money to gain.  Odds are, if the business that hit you has no insurance, then they have no assets of any value to take.\n\nThat being said, if all you're looking for is to get a judgment, then you can always find an attorney willing to take the case.  However, you will end up paying on an hourly basis... with a HEFTY retainer, and NO guarantee of a favorable outcome.\n\nThe potential is always there (as well), that you could get the award you're looking for from a judge or jury, and this "business" could always run and file a chapter 7 bankruptcy, and again... you'd get nothing.\n\nThere is no point in suing if the other person has nothing (which I suspect was the point of your attorney dropping your case).  Check with your state's bar association though... his actions (dropping the case) may have violated some rule of professional conduct.

From what you say she wasn't in much of a friend.  I don't believe she can sue you for twice what the debt is.  Hang on to your receipt so you can prove you paid her.  The judge should dismiss this case.

Are you trying to say the doctor screwed up and caused the bill to go up?  If so, you have negotiating room.  Tell them to cancel the bill or they will be hearing from lawyers.

The only thing that actually comes to mind is the potential malpractice of your attorney.  Your attorney probably should have known what party to sue on your behalf.  I would start with filing a grievance with the bar association in your state, and find an attorney that will handle a malpractice case. Generally, once the SOL has passed, you're out.  Check to see if the statute of limitations is that 2 years your think it is for an insurance claim (don't assume that it is if it came from the attorney that filed against the wrong party).

Medical billing can be complicated.  Having an insurance co pay it can be even more complicated.  I would recommend contacting your insurance co and ask then to explain why the bill wasn't paid.  If what the rep is saying doesn't make sense, then call back and speak to someone else.  You may get someone who is more experienced and more helpful.  Get familiar with the terminology.  Contact the health care provider who is billing you and ask them what their response was from the insurance.\n\nIf you have specifics on the billing problem I may be able to help more.\nGood Luck!

If the suit was actually filed, you can go to the court and have a search done with her as the named Plaintiff.  Actions are normally filed in the county where the Plaintiff resides, where the even occurred or where the Defendant resides or does business, depending on your states rules of civil procedure.\n\nThe filing will tell you the name of the lawyer who represented her.\n\nSince 3 1/2 years have passed, he probably had himself removed because he couldn't get in touch with her.  You should still contact him though just in case he didn't.

Just paying a few dollers each month will put you in good standings credit wise. All you need to do is let them see you are making a little effort also if you need assistance you can go to your local human services and they could help you get some assistance. Good Luck cause I know how it feel I got overian cancer and had no insurance now I have thousands of dollers in bills. It seems like they never stop mailing you bills but like I said just show them a little effort.

I am a paramedic and have to deal with Malpractice lawsuits from patients on a regular basis.  This is not due to a lack of patient care on my part, but more that the individual is looking to make a quick buck.  The health care system is here to help and I promise you that the medical professionals that work in the system are not making a fraction of what your insurance pays.  The small private clinics, like the one you went to, are a gray area.  You should talk with the Podiatrist and share your concerns with them and find out why he provided you with the care that they did.  If in the long run, you decide to sue, make sure the money your asking for is appropriate and dont pull that "mental anguish" crap.  Medical professionals are only human and cannot be expected to be perfect.

It was a scam. Yes the board of health could fine you,but you would get a series of warning letters first.  I do not know if you can sue him but I would not give him ANY money.

The insurance company has what they call "Allowed amounts" or "usual and customary", which is the amount that they will pay on a service. Your copay or percentage/ded is part of that amount. The health care providers who are contracted as In Network Providers sign a contract with the health insurance to become part of the network. Those providers agree to take the allowed amount as payment in full for the services. Any amount they charge that is over that allowed amount is a write off for them. If the providers are not contracted with that insurance company, they can legally bill you for the amount over the allowed amount. The providers who are contracted get the advantage of advertising from the insurance company because they will be listed in your provider booklet or on your insurance company's provider directory on the website. They will get more patients from those searches than if they were not contracted, so the amount they have to write off is not a problem.

because if you go on the show, whether you win or lose, the show pays all your costs.  so if i go on to sue you for maiming my dog fluffy and it's $1300 in medical bills, even if you lose, the show pays the $1300.  that's why it's all small money crimes.  ---my cousin and his mom were on it once fighting over a phone bill and the show called them up after reading about the mom initially filing the complaint in small claims court.

Well, the first step is to identify where it happened. Was it a state case or federal? What state / district? Was it appealed? Do you have a formal citation for the case? Or even a year?\n\nThere are many legal database out there (findlaw.com being one of the more useful). But if you don't know what jurisdiction the case was, it's going to be impossible to find.

Is this just a simple Small Claims Court suit?  If so, you don't have to be formal or anything.  No special form is needed.  \n\nJust send a response outlining your side of the story.  Give copies of receipts or proof to support your claim.  \n\nThen be sure to appear in court.  If you do not show up, the other side wins by default.\n\nIf this is in a higher court, and/or for a lot of money, you will need to consult an attorney.
