Asked in Insurance Bad Faith

Q: My adjuster and Plantiff lawyer against my auto claim is in a standstill of communication.. should I hire lawyer for me?

Just want the negotiation of this claim to get settled. I paid my insurance premiums so I want them to pay within my policy limits.. but thinking a lawyer for me can get this moving faster.

A: It isn't fully clear what's going on here from the brief description. If you and carrier are not able to come to an agreement on the value of the case, an attorney could advise better after learning about the liability, your damages, the policy, and other elements of the claim. Good luck
