I am in agony beyond belief. I cannot sleep. Seems that after nearly five years, my attorney did little to develop my PI case. Did not talk to the four witnesses, did not depose the defendants (owners of the art gallery).
Then, just 6 weeks before trial, he abruptly quit. Case worth 5,000 to 0,000.
5 years ago, at an art gallery a multi-paneled art object — 4 ft by 4 ft — broke from the wall & fell on me. Suffered soft-tissue neck injury. 4 witnesses. 5 doctors.
From the start, my Attorney said, We will have to go to trial. He suddenly quit just weeks before trial. Days before trial, Case so old judge would not grant me trial continuance. I settled for less than ,000. No choice. I plan to go to State Bar, then legal malpractice attorney. I was homeless, on welfare, this after working 6 years as software engineer. Lost everything I worked so hard for. Did get 100% Social Security disability. Needed compensation, though, to get back on feet.

I was in a car accident. My car was totalled and I was NOT at fault.
My daughter and I were both transported to hospital via ambulance to be checked but no major injuries other than slight concussion and contusions.
I got a lawyer but now I have no idea what is going on…
The lawyer is looking for a settlement but how does that work? Someone told me they triple the amount of the bills.
Also, do they make the check out to me and I write my bills to the hospital or do they do it??
How long should all this take? I had the wreck October 16.
And btw KR… nowhere on here did I say I WANTED 3 times the med bills. I said someone told me that. I am not suing the man. I take offense to what you said. I was raised in a God loving home with honest moral values. I would never sue ANYONE unless it was necessary. I just want to know the process the lawyer has to go through. GET OFF UR SOAPBOX.
Gosh thats whats wrong with people these days, ppl like you complaining about everything before you even know the story. Dont Assume!
And KR how dare you tell me that it is taking food off another persons table. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER who cant get a dime of child support by the father. NOT A DIME, I dont want to hear about feeding children. I know the pain of that. And no before you assume I dont have welfare either,, I dont like hand outs. I am 23 have no help from my parents and I didnt know what else to do. I certainly cannot talk to an insurance company as I have no idea how to handle the situation. I know the lawyer has to make his money but with about 10 thouosand worth of doctor bills I have to know that they are going to be payed.
