answered on Aug 24, 2023
No one here can make any judgements as to what is causing the delay. Only your attorney could advise on that. As a GENERAL matter, when it comes to releasing funds, a common cause of delays could involve negotiation and settlement of liens with medical providers or other entities. But that's... View More

Providing a statement to the police about a dog bite incident may be required for an official investigation. However, before doing so, consult with a personal injury attorney to understand your rights and potential consequences. Be cautious not to admit fault or liability in your statement.

I'm sorry about your fall. I hope you're okay. The denial could be any number of reasons. An attorney would need to see the paperwork to offer more definite guidance. If the denial is related to liability issues, it roughly means they don't feel their insured is responsible for your... View More

Since most accident/injury lawyers customarily will provide you a free initial consultation, my recommendation is that you contact a few of them in the area you live and sit down with them and discuss the specifics of your case and then decide how to proceed thereafter. Good luck.

Wondering if I legally need to pay this medical bill since I already signed off on the total amount, including all medical expenses from my lawyer
answered on Jul 18, 2023
If a valid bill was not paid from the settlement, you are still responsible to pay it. But your attorney may be responsible for some or all of it if the attorney should have negotiated or otherwise handled the lien. Ask the attorney to negotiate the lien.

My vehicle was towed in NJ and a few weeks after getting the vehicle back when opening the back of the truck there were over 10K of mechanic tools that were stolen. What kind of lawyer handles this kind of case and how long can you file suit?
answered on Apr 4, 2023
Generally you would want a civil litigation lawyer to handle this type of matter. But even if you call the wrong lawyer many times they can refer you to someone who does.

If you were attacked in Florida, then you need to retain counsel here in Florida. Your medical bills wont cover your pain and suffering damages, which they also would need to pay.
