I was involved in an accident last year, and now the insurance of the guilty party is ready to settle; I don't know how much my case is worth, and no I am not looking forward to getting "more" money; I just need to be sure I am getting what I deserve, and that I will have enough to pay anything related to the accident; The other driver made a left turn on red; got cited, and the damage to my car was $ 7000 worth; I drive a 2008 SUV. Now they are ready to settle, and are offering me $ 3500; is this adecquate for this case? (They are paying the docs, etc separately, which totals about $ 4500.)
Please note: I had a lawyer at first, who was on a contingent fee agreement, meaning I did not have to pay anything (no referral doctors, no chiro fees-- which all came from them, no fees from the lawyer either) unless they won my case and fought it. At the beginning, I was found 70% liable, as the other guy was arguing that he had a green arrow, maybe yellow; at this point, my attorney decided "to terminate" their relationship with me in regards to this case, as I had according to them no chances of winning it. But that was not the case, as my insurance kept going with the investigation which proved otherwise, about 2 months after the lawyer terminated their services with me; I am 100% innocent.
My question is: Do I still owe anything to the attorney, even though they didn't do ANYTHING for me? Will they try to come and get something from me, even though my insurance is the one who came through and fought for me? And is the $ 3500 (for pain & suffering, I assume) an adecquate/reasonable amount for a case like this?
