Q: Truck accident in Georgia left me potentially disabled I’m from Florida. This accident destroyed my life my age is 31.
A student driver was left unsupervised and slammed into my parked vehicle. I sustained 11 spine injuries and severe symptoms.
They fled the scene before the police arrived.
The insurance company accepted liability however they thought my injuries were minor because the previous attorney didn’t provide all medical records or damages.
I now have a disability from this situation the hearing is scheduled in July.
I believe this case will close out after discovery. I need a lawyer immediately to step in and setup depositions and help the defense understand the severity.
By doing this I believe it can close out with fair compensation. Being disabled at the age of 31 is a huge burden and I need an attorney to help me express that.
I have impairments that automatically qualify for disability because of this accident.
The policy is roughly a 50 million umbrella and liability was accepted already once again.
I need assistance immediately.
A: A client is free to discharge his attorney at anytime, but the attorney is entitled to file a cost lien for costs advanced and file a charging lien for work done (against any recovery that is obtained). Reach out to another Georgia attorney for possible representation if you want to discharge your lawyer. If the accident occurred in Florida reach out to someone here in Florida.
Charles M. Baron agrees with this answer
A: If you do not know a top notch trucking attorney, reach out to attorneys for referrals.
A: I'm sorry for your terrible injuries. You could discuss with attorneys, but as my colleague correctly states, you may be looking at a lien. Much more detail is needed to give any kind of meaningful assessment on your case. If you successfully obtained a disability decision, your case may have been going on for a while. Your option is to reach out to attorneys to arrange a free initial consult, or to continue working with your current attorney - that's your personal decision. Good luck
