A "Car Accident Attorney" horror story [View all]
Alice was in a bad T-bone accident (not her fault) and called one of these "in a wreck? call us" attorneys
immediately even before the police showed up. So they show up at the hospital with papers to sign while
she's heavily sedated within hours and one of the papers was something to the effect that she was fine
and was in good health. And because of that the other guy's insurance company refuses to pay for her
medical bills. She's since had to hire an attorney to sue the "car accident" attorneys and insurance company.
Please people if you're in an accident that wasn't your fault, check with your insurance agent or theirs first,
you don't need an attorney to talk to your own insurance agent for you.
These "car accident" attorneys charge 25% to 33% of the estimated damage to your vehicle right off the top
and they make sure the insurance check is made out to them, not you.
So what happens is that when you go pick up your vehicle after being repaired for $6000 (as what happened
to a coworker) the body shop states they need $2000 from you and they have to explain to you how you got
ripped off.
