Can anyone tell me why a attorney might drop a easy redlight rearender; open and shut case?

Question

she just notified me ,and also told me she had never filed a suit after 2 months of me seeing the doctor,can i sue her?holla back please

Answer 1

I agree with GrieseGal... deal with the insurance company yourself.
Why not write a certified letter to your former attorney and have her answer your questions on why she terminated representing you? Have her put in writing the reason(s) she decided to stop representing you. This way you have a basis to file a suit against her or not.

Make sure you understand the statute of limitations in your state, it's probably 2 years. If you deal with the insurance company yourself and then feel you're being treated unfairly you can always seek legal representation before the statute runs.

Answer 2

Just deal with the insurance company. Especially if its so "open and shut". That way you keep everything you collect for yourself --without some bloodsucking parasite taking up to half of it. Also, most claim departments are a lot nicer if you're not yelling "attorney" five minutes after the cops have showed up.

Answer 3

it's all about money. she must not be able to make any or enough.

go see another attorney. i think the statute to file a suit is 2-3 years so there is a lot of time.

plus there is no claim until medical treatment is done and damages can be assessed.

Answer 4

Well, she might drop it for a few reasons - 1. she feels you aren't being honest with her, or aren't cooperating with her 2. she thinks there isn't enough money in it to be worth her while 3. she discovered you gave up your right to sue someone (aka, you have "limited tort" option.

Can you sue her for what? Sure, here in the US, you can sue anyone for anything. Just beware, you could end up getting stuck with LOTS Of legal fees!

Answer 5

doesn't make sense to me. Contact the local Bar Association and ask them to help you resolve your case.
