Is it even worth it is the question, the costs are going to be more than the case is worth at this time.
Do the small claims case on your own if you wish or just settle and offer the doctor half his bill and show him what is the offer.

The at-fault driver only had $15K coverage and is broke. How do I recover court filing fees to cancel the case & negotiate with Medi-Cal to recoup some of it for treatments they don’t cover, since I did all the legal work myself to file lawsuit and recoup full amount on their behalf?
So the best thing is to hire an attorney to help you with this case, sounds like the medical exceeds the policy limits.

especially if he gets more then you do. Plus 40% is rather high. Normally the fee range is 33% and... Read more »
