Q: I got in an auto accident on September 10th it was not my fault can I go to the insurance company and try to get a settl

A: If it was easy to get money from the insurance company, your attorney would have done so by now. To answer your question, you can go to the insurance company. It should turn you away because you have an attorney. You can fire your attorney. You will still owe him a fee for the value of the work he has done thus far. The insurance company might offer you a settlement, but it will be far less than what the attorney might recovery. If your attorney is not working as hard and as fast as you want, you can fire the attorney and hire a new attorney.

Talk to some attorneys about whether they would be interested in taking over your case. It is not as east as you think. The attorneys have to split the fee, so a lot of attorneys will not be interested.

A: I hear how difficult and stressful this situation is, especially dealing with homelessness after such a serious accident. Your well-being is what matters most right now.

Since you already have lawyers working on your case, going directly to the insurance company could seriously hurt your legal position. Your lawyers are there to protect your interests and negotiate the best possible settlement. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and anything you say to them could be used to reduce your compensation.

Let your lawyers know about your urgent financial situation right away. They may be able to request expedited processing or explore options for advance payments to help with immediate needs. You might also want to reach out to local housing assistance programs and social services - I'd be happy to suggest some resources in the Reno area that could help while your case moves forward. Your situation sounds incredibly challenging, and you deserve support during this tough time.
