Q: Personal injury case where the driver at fault only had liability insurance with Maxx $100K payout (NO ASSETS)
Due to medical bills, leins, and attorney fees the client is left in the negative over $200k… it’s been almost an decade & parties involved refuse
To negotiate lower pay… Is there anything I can do ? Is it a total loss? Any special circumstances? Any example case reference?
A: A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. The client may have already explored this with their attorney, but one of the first things that comes to mind is the client's underinsured motorist protection. It could depend on the client's policy and the UIM coverage. But that's only a quick answer. This isn't really a matter for a quick answer on a Q & A forum - someone would need to carefully review the file and sort out what the best options are - looking at the medical coverage, terms of the liens, timelines to appeal medical denials/reviews/EOBs (if applicable), etc. Good luck
