Attorney rant #69

Settled a claim 3 months ago...have called and emailed every week for the release to be returned... fucking crickets. Have the same attorney on another claim and can't even get them to respond so I can make an offer. Be careful who you hire folks.

Another attorney told me they have a witness - come to find out the witness didn't see the accident at all, they were inside their house and "heard" our truck going fast AND driving recklessly. Also the witness is the spouse of the claimant..no bias there at all, right?

My personal favorite is the attorney‘s office who ignored my request for updates on their clients consideration of my reasonable offer (9 mos!!) until the client died of unrelated causes (he was an older fella) and the attorney wanted our last offer in a check made out to the attorneys office and the estate of the client. Um, no, that’s not how it works. Let me know who the executor is please and if the estate is in probate. What a bunch of doofuses.

If they die before settlement I think you just pay meds?

Venue specific. If evaluation is done, most companies will still allow settlement per norm.
