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.

Nothing. You cant claim he caused you monotary damages because you want to evade paying your bills.

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.

If the accident was legit and as you have stated and you haven't made false statements or caused other mitigating circumstances that would have impeded the lawsuit then find another lawyer. There are many hungry lawyers out there that would be glad to pick up the case. Insurance companies for the most part will not pay out unless you retain a lawyer regardless of their legal and moral liability. \n\nWhat makes me question whether you have done something such as admitting fault, lying about the case or signing an agreement with the insurance company without first consulting your attorney is that most attorneys, no matter how successful or busy they are or how little the case may generate will rarely drop a case. Unless your lawyer was just a schmuck.\n\nAlso, you may wish to contact your local bar association. You may have a malpractice case against your lawyer if in fact he did cause you to incur debt and then abandoned your case without cause. There are a lot of bad layers out there.

I believe you can sue the company for your medical bills, for the wrongful termination, for the lawyer's fees (you will need a lawyer!), court fees, and for the other expenses that you incurred after being fired. You need to do it as soon as possible though, because there are time restrictions. You will most definitely win if you sue.

You can definitely sue them for this.It was a complete violation of your patient rights and the law gives you the space to do so.I would contact a personal injury attorney first to see if they can help you if not they should be able to recommend one for u.\n\nGood luck with this and I'm sorry this happened to you.

Speak with a lawyer in your area who handles legal malpractice claims.  Legal mal is a special area of the law.  Check www.martindale.com for a listing of lawyers in your area.  If your lawyer blew the statute of limitations, you may have a civil claim against him/her for damages.  Speaking with a qualified legal mal attorney is the only real way to know what your remedies are.\n\nIf all you want is to get your former lawyer disciplined, then you should contact both the State and County bar associations in your area and request that they initiate disciplinary proceedings.

You can consider taking him to small claims court. You won't need a lawyer for that. The information about how to do it is available from your local court system in your community. If you file a small claim and he fails to respond or show up, you will get a default judgement. That will allow you to attach to any property (real estate) and perhaps go after any payroll with a garnishment. For $1500, I would definately nail his asss to the wall.

Of course you can. Go get a lawyer, tell them the details, and sue!

I agree, get a lawyer. Too many posibilities and not enough clarification with your question. Most Doctors practicing medicine today carry  malpractice insurance. If the Doctor is clearly at fault you may have an easier time finding representation via a lawyer as they can expect a payout even if you can't afford one now.

You can sue, but that doesn't mean you can be successful at a lawsuit.\n\nIf the "something that supposedly happened" was that long ago, a lawsuit will probably be dismissed because of the statute of limitations.\n\nYou need to consult with a California attorney to protect your own interests, as well as those of your husband.

Talk with your lawyer.

Like the other person said, get a hold of your old attorney and explain the situation. Your second should have been included. I fyour attorney made a mistake, he is liable for any damages you suffer as a result from this. It seems like your second got transfered to the loss mitigation department and what they stated, is normal protocol for a second to do.\n\nRegards

I think you first must try to resolve the matter directly with the restaurant before you can pursue suing them.  Most businesses would be responsive and would pay your medical bills, maybe a little more.  But in order to sue, your injury must have been significant, or no lawyer would take the case on a contingency basis (for about 1/3 of your award.)  If you sued via paying the lawyer an hourly rate, you would be chancing losing that amount of money.
