Coloma, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

I think you mean rescind. No, this is only available for in home sales contracts for like Windows. Check with your attorney, but I bet your signature is binding.

Your lawyer will be entitled to either 1) compensation for the amount of time he has put into your case to date, or 2) a third of the last settlement offer on the case, if there has been one made. It really shouldn't effect you though in the long run. The new attorney that you hire will have to deduct whatever amount is due to the first attorney from his portion of the settlement. So in effect, you will still end up with two thirds of the final settlement and the first and second lawyers will have to split the one third due them. You should not let this issue influence your decision as to who represents you. However, I usually advise clients who approach me who are unhappy with their initial counsel to discuss their concerns with their attorney to see if they can mend the relationship. I would imagine that the lawyer may have done more work than is apparent to the client. Often times with PI cases it seems as nothing is being done when in fact either it actually is being worked or the attorney is waiting for the client to complete treatment, since no demand can actually be made until the client has completely finished treatment. Speak to your attorney and voice your concerns. If you are still unsatisfied there is no reason not to seek new counsel with whom you can feel comfortable.

If you received the responsible party's Policy limits as part of your settlement, your own carrier has no subrogation rights against your settlement for any medical they paid. They are also required by statute to waive any subrogation claim for any money paid to you from an Underinsured Motorist claim where policy limits were tendered by the responsible party's carrier. However, if policy limits were not paid, they do have a right to recover any medical paid to you out of the settlement. As a general rule, the responsible party's carrier will reimburse your Insurance Company directly.
