Your attorney probably cannot tell you how much you will receive before you sign. Medi-Cal won't even provide a reimbursement number until the settlement is signed. Medicare can take months to negotiate. Health insurers won't agree to a reduction of their reimbursement requests until... View More

There are companies who will identify possible insurers, for a fee. You can also write to the defendant and ask for that information. You would be better off, and have more chance of learning this information, if you hired an attorney. You will get very little respect as a self-represented claimant.

You can do that, but the defendant's motivation to settle, now that you do not have an attorney, will be substantially less. Do not be surprised if the offer is no longer there.

Sounds like a workers compensation claim. If someone other than your employer dug the hole, or failed to barricade or place warning signs, you might have a negligence claim against them.

If they made you an offer (sent you a check), and you cashed it before the offer was retracted, you have a completed contract and should not have to refund the money. An attorney should review the entire transaction history before any judgment are made, however.

You do nothing except notify your insurance company, or your employer's insurance company. You do not have a right to "shut down" somebody else's allegations. That is the purpose of a trial.

Yes, it's legal. It is possible to receive 0% if the settlement is low enough and the costs/medical expenses are high enough. There is no guarantee of the profitability of a personal injury case. Whether that is appropriate in your case would depend on the many issues, including comparative... View More
