As a workers' comp. attorney, it has been my experience that proceeding on a WC claim is a very long and tedious affair for injured workers.  It sounds like you are currently receiving some form of treatment, which is good.  It can take months to go to a hearing, and then months more if there is an appeal.\n\nIf you think your attorney is not diligently representing your interests, you are always free to get a second opinion.

Tell your lawyer to do his job or you will A) report him to the bar for neglecting a legal matter entrusted to him and B) sue him for breach of contract and legal malpractice. Speaking as a lawyer myself, I can NOT drop a client on the basis the Respondent doesn't have insurance!\n\nNext point...was the driver charged with operating without insurance? I bet there is a policy in effect...but the driver was not listed on the policy...therefore you can still sue the company that owned the vehicle as well as make a claim against the drivers personal policy if any is in effect at the time of the accident\n\nHope this helps....to not attempt to settle this yourself! You don't even know the extent of your damages!

Write out a timeline of everything that happened, attach any documentation you have supporting this information and send it with a letter of complaint to the state bar association.  Follow up on a weekly basis by phone & in person.  Eventually, if you make enough of an nuisance of yourself they may bring all the lawyers involved up on charges, either suspend them for a length of time or disbar them, and make them reimburse you the amount of money you lost.\n\nI went through this same type of thing in Louisiana with an attorney who barely got me divorced and never followed up on the property settlement or child support.  He ended up being suspended for two months and reimbursing me half of the $1000.00 I'd paid him.  It took me two years of being persistant with the Louisiana bar to finally get some satifisfaction in this situation but it worked.

You can't be serious, you want to sue someone for trying to help you communicate with the world?  I know it can be frustrating, but sheesh, nobody is perfect.  So, they misunderstood...that is okay, just clarify.  And, I don't think it is such a bad thing that they try to treat you nicely...hell, I wish people went out of their way to treat me w/ kid gloves.  If you have a problem w/ a particular person's attitude, just let them know...like anyone would.  They are just trying to be helpful.  What's is so bad about somebody feeling good about helping you and other people with disablities....geez, is that such a bad thing?  How would you prefer them to feel and how would you prefer to be treated?  With a cold shoulder?  I don't know if you have a case, but with the way the world works, you probably would--thanks for driving up my tuition/medical bills, etc b/c of your frivolous lawsuit.

Sorry for your loss.  Best bet is to find another attorney.  And if you first attorney seems to have done something unethical, report him to the local bar.  You may want to consult with a new attorney before you do that.

I would get a new lawyer and see about suing your lawyer for ineffective counsel.  You may be able to get a new trial if you can prove you were not mentally competent at the time.\n\nAnd when you get a new lawyer, he can advise you about pain and suffering.\n\nBut let me tell you that it is not going to be easy trying to find an atty, who wants to sue another attorney.  It may take a lot of phone calls and a lot of people saying no before you find someone who will help.\n\nYour doctor that diagnosed you with the PTSD may be able to help refer you to someone.\n\nGood luck!

call your local superior court and speak with thier Small Claims Advisor.  in a small claims case lawyers are not admissible in court and you will be on a level playing field with your defendant.  however there are limitations as to the ammount you can claim in small claims ct.  so,  pick up the small claims papers at your court, fill them out and have your SC advisor help you with anything you may not understand.  if you happen to live in Ca heres a good link to start off with for some general info.  good luck!\nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/smallclaims/

Hey Friend,\nI think you need a new lawyer or you need to talk plainly to the one you have.. Ask him these questions..I'm not a lawyer, but , an insurance  company insures a person for a certain amount..  ie.. my policy is a 1/3/1 policy 100,000 in liability 300,000 in bodily injury 100,000 in property damage. So as I understand it If I hit you and it's my fault then you could get a maximum of 300,000 in bodily injury.  My agent tells me that this is what I should have and that it is more than the state mandated minimum.  So it sounds like your injuries and damages exceed whatever your or the other persons insurance will cover. If it we're the other persons fault you could sue them for the amount over what their insurance will cover.  In your circumstance there is no one to sue. So look at your policy and whatever your limits of coverage are is what you can get.  NOW if the lawyer is on the pay of your insurance company you REALLY need a second opinion from someone not affiliated with your insurance company.  Good luck.\nKeith

Find another lawyer, that does NOT know this lawyer, and explain everything.  See if you can re-open your daughter's case, since she can no longer play sports because of this accident, and go from there.  Understand that MOST lawyers know each other, and bond together when someone wants to report another!  Unfortunately, this is the way they work, and not much we can do about it.  If you've got everything documented, including collection letters and proof that the medical bills were supposed to be paid out of the settlement then you've got the ammunition you need to do this.  And if you signed anything accepting this settlement, you can state that  you signed it under the direction of your lawyer, and trusted him completely, and he didn't represent you to the best of his ability.  You might also want to report him to the Bar Association.

In addition to the other suggestions, lean on your insurance agent.  The agent should be able to help and if you have been with the company for 28 years and have other coverage with State Farm that should provide some incentive.\nIn New York where I am, the DMV and the court system are two distinct and separate entities that often do not communicate well if at all.  Concentrate your efforts on DMV and only spend time with court if DMV requires.\nIf you can't make any progress with DMV, contact your local state assembly person.  I have found them very helpful with similar matters.

i would contact a lawyer

1.  Check the policy.  The policy may state what amount of time the policy holder has to file suit.\n2.  Contact your state insurance commission.  They should be able to tell you what the state law is.  But beware if the time given in the policy is shorter, you are bound to that shorter time.  Contrariwise, if the time given in the policy is longer than your state's statute of limitations, you are probably stuck with the shorter time, also.\n3.  Contact your local bar and see if they have a panel of attorneys who are willing to take low paying cases for the experience.

I don't quite understand the question.  Are you asking how to defend yourself against the lawsuit?  Your insurance company should be hiring a lawyer to represent you.

I would send him a letter informing him that you have contacted a lawyer regarding the matter and the issue needs to be solved by such-and-such date. After that? Small claims court. Take it to Judge Judy!
