The question isn't fault - but the amount of damages-- and nothing in your question indicates whether this was a fender bender or whether serious injuries resulted.

Unless the lawsuit is settled and you have an award you are out of luck using it for collateral.  If you've received a installment payment award there are organizations that will buy if for a lump sum.  However, these companies charge a huge premium.  There is probably no way you can get such a lump sum, invest it and come out better that you would have taking the installment payments.

ASK your lawyer as he is the only one who knows!

It will probably cost you plenty, a lawyer should be able to negotiate a good deal for you. Don't wait until Friday to call a lawyer, call today.

Absolutely! In addition to your medical expenses and general pain and suffering, your lawyer SHOULD also factor in loss from future earnings..and this is a figure that you can quantify based on the offers you received X expected work life......there is case law that allows for it.....

Two years is actually fast in legal terms to conclude a claim.  Usually, the carriers pay quickly to close the file; I'm fairly positive your attorney will receive the Joint Tortfeasor Release and Indemnity Agreement within a few days of the agreed upon settlement.  After you have signed the documents, the carrier cannot "take" the money "back" unless you somehow obtained it fraudulently.

If you have children and u left him with the children, he can go to family court and get and a temporary  order( pendente lite) for you  to contribute now. Otherwise,When and if u r divorced, the settlement will reflect this. If the note on the house is more than the house can be sold for and there are not other offsetting assets ( pensions, cars, IRA's, Householfd furnishings etc.) he could potentially get a judgement against you for half of the difference.

You can do like i did and set up a settlement plan with them.  What they do is they take a certain amount every month from your checking or savings account and when the last payment is due they pay for it.

Well, i don't know the exact figure, but I'd think it's somewhere between 10k-20k. Most of these things are settled out of court, I received a settlement from progressive Insurance for soft tissue injuries for $7,500 (also factor in that your lawyer is taking 1/3 of what you get, 40% if he has to file a suit)

A settlement, if the cash is there for you to receive, will generally be paid to both you and your attorney. It will be placed in a trust account, then the lawyer will give you your share, and his/her share will be taken from the trust account and placed in their operating account. Your lawyer will get their money at the same time that you get yours. Quite often the check will be written payable to John Doe in c/o his attorney, Willey, Cheatem, & Howe, PA. I know that was a bad joke, but I couldn't resist. I work for lawyers. Bear in mind, that you can be awarded a $30K settlement, but it's only as good as the party's ability to pay those funds.
