After having a whiplash injury from the car accident in September, I've had a lawyer company dealing with it, provided through my fully-comprehensive insurance by my car insurance provider, as a part of my policy.
I'm getting the impression that this lawyer seems to be "scrutinise" me, rather than HELPING me & pointing me in the right direction as what to do, etc. in order to maximise the financial gain from the insurance company of other driver.
Is it normal that such lawyer DO NOT help their client & they're ONLY interested in getting the case sorted out by whatsoever amount they manage to get, as a compensation, from the insurance company of other driver ??? If I'm NOT happy with her now OR not happy with the compensation amount she manage to get off the other insurance company's provider, is there an option THEN to find ANOTHER lawyer (perhaps, on "no win, no fee" basis) & let this new laywer redo the entire compensation process, AGAIN ???

it's his job to "scrutinize" you, he's trying to make sure it's rock solid that you should be given the money for this, because if you don't get paid, he can't charge more for helping you win

you're attorney has to make sure that the case is legit. that's where the scrutinize issue comes into play. and the attorney is going to try to get you as much money as she can because the more you get, the more she will get. it's in her best interest to try to get as much as she can from the insurance company. insurance companies fight these lawsuits tooth and nail because they do NOT want to pay out. that's why these cases are so hard to settle. just be patient and realize that your attorney has your best interests at heart.
