If you own a car and have insurance, that insurance is primary. That only covers your medical bills and lost wages (if wage loss was selected). You don't get to sue anyone because a deer caused it. Unless you can show the deer was a pet deer, and the owner didn't confine it, no person is... View More

Normally the agreement would have the name of a bank where the funds were to be deposited. The lawyer would have to have some records. If not you can ask the local bar association
