QUESTION: What does an attorney gain by keeping all the records of the auto injury/medical records before signing a retainer’s agreement? – I went to see an Auto injury attorney and he wanted to keep all the prior third-party insurance letters and all the records including medical records for this accident, which he wants to keep for a couple of days before making up his mind about taking this case or not. What are the disadvantages for me? Can this attorney scan my documents and save them on his computer?.
QUESTION: There is a potential lawsuit involving an auto accident. The other side claims he had 10 fractured ribs on the left, fractured left shoulder, right leg behind the knee injury. His attorney said his medical bill was over $400,000. I don’t think it is out of pocket expense. He is 74 years old and should be covered under Medicare and possibly private medical insurance. How do you determine the damage they can go after? Is it non reimbursed bill he paid out of pocket or it can be reimbursed.
QUESTION: I was getting out of the car in the parking spot in a main street. I made sure that no cars were in motion at that moment, so barely opening the door, a guy who was speaking on the phone smashed my car. The police officer was not even there but he claimed that it was my fault. He did not allow me to talk, instead he just said that I could get a ticket. He went on and listened to the other guy’s version and did not include.
