[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not wading through all these responses….sorry if I’m repetitive.

Presumably your insurance company covered your medical expenses. Which means anything you recover will first go to the insurance company to make them whole.

[b]Next, it is extremely unlikely that an attorney will take this on contingency, especially given the involvement of the insurance company.[/b]

So, go for it…pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket to an attorney. If you actually have to go to trial and engage experts, the costs will be more than what you thing you are entitled to. So, you will have to settle for a reduced amount and turn that $ over to your insurance company who will then thank you for being the stoodge who paid an attorney so they could recover their expenses.[/quote]

There are entire law practices that do this exact sort of work and they know how to work with insurers. Something like this would be settled out of court and likely without much more than a demand letter and a few phone calls. People really don't understand the first thing about how this works.[/quote]

Yea some of these people are in fantasy land. Pay a retainer to a personal injury attorney? Fully reimburse insurance? All of that is negotiable.[/quote]
