I wonder if they are really scared, or they just don't believe your case can be won.  Even if you have a doctor and a nurse who say it did not happen in the accident, there are still problems with proving up such a case.  First, there is a thing called a standard of care.  That is, a certain level of less-than-perfect care is acceptable, since doctors are not perfect.  Secondly, the opinion of the doctor and nurse you mentioned would be pitted against other experts who might claim such an injury could have happened as a consequence of your injuries in the car accident, as a secondary thing rather than right at the time of the accident.  For example, if a person has an injury and it is bandaged in emergency first aid with a non-sterile handkerchief or a scrap of fabric ripped from someone's clothes (the way they seem to do in movies a lot), it can get an infection that makes it much worse.  In that case, would you expect the law to blame the person who took care of you when you got to the hospital or the person who administered the emergency first aid?  After all, if they stopped the bleeding, they may well have saved your life.  Sometimes there is no one to blame, in the sense of being able to win a lawsuit against them.\n\nThere are thousands of variables that go into whether a personal injury lawyer believes he has good enough odds of winning to be willing to take a case.  After all, he invests his time, and often his money in costs, long before there is a settlement or a jury verdict.  One of the variables, however, is how hungry the lawyer is, so if you have not checked literally every lawyer in town, keep trying!

Talking to a real person is the best way to answer questions, they'll probably be glad to help.

If i were you I would call the hospital and talk to someone in patient accounts. i had a friend who was told they had a brain anurism (sp?) and they shipped him to another hospital etc etc and racked up alot of bills and the wife called and ended up they didnt have to pay it. Chances are you will have to pay for the first one though, it was part of your treatment.

You need a lawyer. Once you get a lawyer, you will be amazed at how much faster things will move. The trick is finding a good one. Many lawyers if not all will take an injury case on a contingency basis. Check with the local bar association.

you should check with the BBB or the medical malpractice section of your local courthouse.  (probably their records department)

You going to have to talk to a lawyer on this one. Bring with you a list of all the damage the other lawyer did to you (i.e. stole your money, ruined your reputation, mismanaged funds, poorly prepared your case, etc.). With this list the new lawyer should be able to tell you what your options are. Good luck.

It sounds like you may have a case, although of course ALL the details need to be reviewed. You should consult an attorney, I think it may cost you but it may be worth it if it was the hospital's fault. \n\nFind a lawyer and talk to them, I hope your daughter is ok. Good luck.

Go to a lawyer specializing in Personal Injury. Don't sympathize with the one who got you into all this trouble, and don't care whether he is "incompetent" or not. If you are insured, your insurance company and his should be taking care of expenses, but better see a lawyer first. There will be a lot of investigations and interviews from both companies and your lawyer, and everything will come out. Meanwhile, have a record of all your medical bills and correspondence with the insurance companies, etc; take pictures of everything that was affected, especially your injuries---gross as it may seem, if it is, take shots of your wounds, etc., in short, everything! Your lawyer if he is good will need all these.\n\nMy hubby was hit by a car when he was walking, broke a leg, not his fault as he walked on the pedestrian go-signal. The offender's insurance and our insurance took care of all expenses. We went through 3 or so lawyers before we found someone who really worked on it and got us a 6-figure settlement, aside from the payment of all costs involved. \n\nIf your lawyer is hard to contact, doesn't return your calls, and the case is moving slowly, don't be afraid to fire him. There will be others who will take your case. You don't pay them anything because their payment will be a percentage of your settlement, so the bigger they get for you, the bigger money they get, too. \n\nDon't be discouraged. Keep your wits. Look out for yourself. \n\nIf you were in Canada I can give you number of the best injury lawyer there is...

I am sorry to hear about your child, however i would suggest that your lawyer should be finding the expert witnesses in any case such as this, and if he is unable to do so then i think it best that you find a lawyer who can - this is what you are paying your lawyer for ( or what they are taking there possible fee for) and if they are unable to do this then i would be very suspect about there ability to try the case to a successful outcome. \n\nGood luck

Your case is probably one in which you should not have a problem finding an attorney to take your case on contingency. If that attorney merely advised you to write a letter to the food service establishment yourself, it does not sound like he was interested in taking your case.\n\nI suggest you retain an attorney who will take your case on contingency and have your attorney write a "demand letter" to the food service establishment. The food service place will probably submit your demand to their insurance carrier or corporate attorney for handling.  From there, the respective representatives for both sides will evaluate your injuries and the cost of making you "whole" again.\n\nA case such as yours will probably settle, however, I suggest you retain a competent attorney to help you negotiate your damages.  It might be a lengthy process, but at least you have someone on your side advocating for you.  Hope this helps.

If you simply want to have the lawyer disciplined, you would simply call the state bar association in Illinois.  They will provide you with a referral to the appropriate discipliary comittee.\n\nSome (not all) state bars provide some compensation on their own for people who were harmed by bad lawyers.  But if you want to sue for malpractice, you'll need to get a lawyer of your own.
