I asked him if he has called the adjuster (female) and his reply was that she was very difficult to deal with and that he has corresponded to her via mail only. I am going to meet with him next week if I have a list of questions (thanks to this website) and possibly release him from his services. If he feels my case is weak I am hoping he will just let it go since he is a friend. The deadline to file is in October so I am not waiting any longer since obviously the adjuster is not taking his letters seriously. Thank you. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	frustratedmomof5 Guest

The DOI can still do their job even if the person has an attorney. OP, is the attorney saying he is the boss or you are? If your attorney is getting no response and does not have the balls to file suit then run as fast as you can away from him. If that is the case then he's an attorney just looking to make a quick 33% off any settlement and move to the next case. There are some attorneys that never file suit and go to court as they either don't want the expense or they are not trial lawyers. You probably need to find an attorney willing to do their job... like they advertize on TV. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	tcope1 Guest

I called today and spoke with his secretary just confirm that they have not heard any news from the adjuster since 12/2010 she stated that is correct. I didn't want to get an ambulance chaser for an attorney I just wanted someone agressive but honest. I have an appointment with him tomorrow and have a list of questions to ask him. I know most would have dealt with the insurance company on their own but in my case I thought it would be best to get an attorney since I was 1. Already on disability from my employer and receiving SSDI benefits and 2. A 47 yr old woman with complications of diabetes that may be used in determining the amount of settlement I only want what is fair for pain and suffering, the cost of my medical bills and the loss of my vehicle because of this accident. He stresses that WEstern KEntucky jurors are not "generous" and states he has seen cases where the juror did not award monies for pain and suffering just the cost of medical bills. You guys may be right and he just doesnt want to spend the time or energy on my case. He states that an offer of $30k if given I should "strongly consider in accepting". I do not agree with that he can't get me past $11, 500?? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	frustratedmomof5 Guest
