• Should I have a lawyer representing me?

  Asked in San Francisco, CA

  I was back-ended in my car by a speeder. Both insurance companies agree the other party was responsible. I spent 5 days in the hospital (3 days in the ICU with rib and sternal fractures and resultant atrial fibrillation. The other party had only the minimal insurance required by law. My car was totaled. My insurance says I will only get $25,000 for medical, and that benefit will be applied to any medical bills. Reimbursement for my car is pending because the other insurance says they may have me pay part of the property damage. (Was catapulted into a building). I did not have collision. I am 84 years old; I've never had an accident. It will take me months to get my strength back. Is this a viable case for an attorney? My hospital bill was over $135,000. How does Medicare fit into this?

• I think I was a victim of ambulance chasers. What do I do next?

  Asked in McKinney, TX

  I was in a car accident and was contacted two days later by a group that claimed they were providing resources for crash victims. I was immediately funneled to a medical attorney, and because I was already disoriented by the entire process I was convinced to sign a contract with them. When I recieved communication from the insurance, it included a notice that this kind of thing is illegal for someone to do. I just want to know what I need to do next to protect myself, or how to find an ethical professional that can help me.

  Asked in Columbia, SC

  No contact for almost 60 days. "I can't tell you what to do about your healthcare" from paralegal. No medical lien or other to cover healthcare from the accident. My job essentially went away while I've been out under doctors orders. I'm stuck. Please advise on what I can do.
