You may want to check that letter again, as is far far from normal that a lawyer will write you and offer to GIVE you money, let alone at that early phase of a case. It may well be that he is expecting YOU to pay his client and its a rep letter. Regardless, the answer to your question is YES, your health insurer has a right of subrogation and they expect to be repaid and will sue you if they dont.... Read More

No. You have no claim for lost wages or inconveneince because you are attending to your adult daughter and grandchild. She might if she lost work or was forced to pay you for those services and sought reimbursement under PIP. If you daughters treatment did not reveal a permanent injury as determined by the treating physicians, which often happens due to treatment and diagnostic limitations with pregnant women, she is essentially entitled to have the out of pocket medical bills not paid by PIP coverage and thats about it....

First, if you think you are paying for a lawyers illegal influence over a judge, you are as wrong as he would be if it were true. Second, the judge is not there to advise you of your legal situation, he is there to adjudicate you.

You will have to work this out with your doctors. Lawyer is not responsible for the cost of your medical care. If you did not follow up with care or properly pursue a claim, that may be on you. As an aside, if the medical care at issue is over 4 years old, the statute of limitations may have already passed or may soon do so. If the doctor continues to try to collect the money once the SOL has passed, he may violate the Fla. Consumer Collections Practices Act, and may actually have to pay you money if they push to far.

Were you injured? Did you contact your insurance company? Insurance carriers try to negotiate every dollar they can, because every $100 means millions in the end to the Board of Directors. Even in property damage cases, we see this type of thing.  Worse yet, in soft tissue injuries, those tissues stretch and scar, or cause corresponding pressure on nerves in the spinal cord, leaving behind permanent problems for some. I have had clients need surgeries years later because of a bulging disk and have their entire world collapse for what seemed inconsequential at the time. Insurance companies want you to settle as soon as possible and treat as little as possible. Attorneys matter. Carriers change their gameplan when a lawyer is involved. It seems like your injuries are more serious. The more a law firm advertises, the less likely it is to give personal attention. If you order a cheeseburger, you don't often meet the chef. If you buy a shirt, you virtually never meet the designer. But hiring a lawyer is different. A lawyer is your spokesperson. ... Read More
