You settled so you want to discuss those questions with the attorney who represented you.
If you get sued discuss them with the attorney who the insurance gets for you.

You say you settled. You say there are fees. If the fees were for a lawyer, ask the lawyer what to do. If you are sued your insurance company needs to know and be involved. They will have a lawyer represent you.

A husband who drinks and drives puts his wife at risk of a lawsuit as well as himself. The existence of an insurance policy does not not lessen the wife's risk. Obtaining a separate insurance policy for the husband will not protect the wife from a lawsuit. Your policy should be reviewed as it... View More

My deepest condolences on the passing of your wife. Talcum frequently occurs in close proximity to asbestos deposits in the earth, so contamination is nearly inevitable. Despite the refining process it undergoes prior to making it to the final product, significant traces of asbestos are often still... View More

1. No,but
2. Your claim is for your non-stress injuries. Contact a member of the Az Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where the wreck happened--they give free consults.
3. Be sure to follow up with doctors for your injuries. Stess over the injury isn't ususally something you can collect for.

Certainly, the day care center was negligent. From a practical standpoint, most attorneys limit their practices to cases involving some form of physical injuries. The laws, standards of proof, and collectible damages may be limited by the applicable law in place. Most personal injury attorneys... View More
Quick and easy-settled a personal injury case for $335 k and only got $7k after all was said and done-mislead us and provided funding through a company in NY which we believe is illegal because of the high interest rate!

I assume that the funding letters and the attorney conveyed to you the interest. Problem is you were strapped and probably bugged the attorney for money, right? However, call a member or three of the Fla. Justice Assn as there may be some statute that limits the amount of the whole that a funding... View More

Why not contact a member of the Az Trial Lawers who deals with assault and other harm cases and see what they say? If you can document all the contacts, saved them and /or downloaded them it's possible if they kept the guy on that they then bought into his conduct.

No though you might want to depending on the circumstances. If your claim is a refusal to pay you certainly want to document that with a written request for payment.
