QUESTION
I believe my attorney is/negligent in handling my case. I do not want to sign an agreement in arbitration without my wages being included
Asked on Nov 07th, 2017 on Automobile Accidents - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I have a non binding arbitration award of 60,000 for pain and suffering due to permanent injury. My wages of a minimum of 48,000 were never filed for. What do I do? this is blatant negligence. Who do I call? I don't want to sign an agreement when my wages were not included!!! I have been out of work over 3 years as a nurse. Please help. Is there someone who can help me? Where do i go when my lawyer has grossly misrepresented my case. I actually lost my home, everything. I was hit from behind sitting at a red light and ended up with 2 cervical herniations and 2 thoracic herniated disks!

I think I answered this question before, but if you are thinking of suitng your attorney, that is a separate matter and best discussed with an attorney that handles legal malpractice cases. But if I remember correctly, you also mentioned that the policy limits were $50,000.00 and you would have to show that either the negligent party has assets outside of insurance or that you yourself have a underinsured motorists' coverage on your policy that is in excess of $50,000.00.
