Plus they said that I can’t do my regular duties. Do I have a case against my employer to hold them responsible for my injury? ANSWER: Your employer may be.

QUESTION: I gave a $1,500 retainer that I thought applied to the contingency fee which is the injury portion of the case. However, my attorney is charging 33% to my car repair recovery.

QUESTION: I had a gallbladder surgery in February. Four days later I began to complain about sore throat and cough. My PCP said there was nothing wrong. I went to the ENT who saw the torn uvula. He stated this happens during improper intubation during surgery. Then I went to the Pulmonist calling for a bronchotomy to assess airway and voice box damage.

QUESTION: My client is in a friend’s car. The friend causes an accident with a truck. The truck is also partially at fault. Friend’s policy limit of $15,000 was offered and truck offers $45,000. The client has UIM of $100,000. Can I make UIM claim here ($40,000) even though policy limits of truck are not exhausted? Ins.

ANSWER: It would be important to get the policy limits of each party at fault because the Under-insured Motorist Coverage is triggered only if the tortfeasor’s (other driver’s) policy limits are less than claimant’s policy limits [Ins.C. §11580.2(p)(2)]. Thus, claimants are not entitled to under-insured motorist policy benefits where the tortfeasor has the same or higher policy.

QUESTION: I am in East Bay in San Francisco. I was turned down on my claim. My shipmate died and I was picked up by a jet blast and thrown down the deck.
