QUESTION
Should I have received notice of lawsuit filed?
Asked on Jan 29th, 2013 on Personal Injury - Florida
More details to this question:
I retained an attorney to represent me after a slip & fall at a commercial property. My injuries required a few surgeries and extended hospital/rehab facility stay. Should I have received a notice from the court that my attorney filed the suit? I see it in public records but haven't received anything nor any communication from my attorney. I know these type of cases take a long time and am not looking for quick settlement but feel like a mushroom.

I've read your question and it certainly does not sound like a normal circumstance. Although your attorney may have filed suit without your knowledge, it is something that is almost always discussed with the client beforehand and certainly after. You would not receive notice from the Court that a suit was filed, but your attorney should let you know as you will soon be propounded with numerous discovery requests, a notice of deposition, etc. If you have tried to contact your attorney, but they have not returned your calls, that would be an issue.
