A discussion of settlements and mediation of Personal Injury Law, including self representation, damage estimation, loss of earnings, calculating pain an suffering damages, mediation, torts, etc.
I don't care what client and attorney agree upon. There is no way, that let's say, a settlement for one million was agreed upon with insurance company and Dr bills were 400,000. The attorney should not get 33 percent of the one million. He should only be entitled 33 or whatever percentage of what's left over after Dr. Bills. There is no damn way that after Dr. Bills are paid attorney should get 330,000. And client recieve only 270,000. I consider any one that does that a snake. How do you look your client in the eye after that.
