Have I been mislead by my attorney?

Answered by attorney Eric E Rothstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Rothstein Law PLLC
It sounds like you signed a release and sent it back to your attorney. If your attorney sent it to the defense there is probably not much you can do because there is an enforceable settlement. I suggest you call your lawyer ASAP and see if the retainer was sent to the defense and if not tell them not to send it both on the phone and by fax or something similar so you have proof. $15,000 for a surgery case sounds low but it depends on the strength of your case. You don't get money just because you fell. You have to prove the defendant was negligent and have notice of a dangerous condition. The above is for informational purposes only and not meant as legal advice.

Can I sue my daughter's middle school or coach?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
You can't sue the school because you don't have school insurance for your daughter? That does not make any sense to me. Generally, the rule is that in order to make a claim against a property owner (including stores, parking lots, apartments, etc) the injured party has to show that the owner knew or should have known of the hazard, had an opportunity to correct it, and failed to take action. So, you would have to prove that the school knew of the hole, had time to repair it, and did not do so. As for the coach, the damage was done, the bone would not be less broken had he acted properly. But, you need to follow up administratively, with the principal, school supervisor and Board of Education if necessary.

Can my husband still be charge if the officer claimed the accident as no fault and was not liable on a car accident?

Answered by attorney James S Lawrence (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at James S. Lawrence
The decision on whether to bring criminal charges belongs to the prosecutor, not the police officer. However, statements of the officer that tend to clear the defendant often will affect the prosecutor's decision whether to charge. The decision on whether to file a civil lawsuit belongs to the person who claims they were wronged by the allegedly improper driving conduct. The officer's statements will be helpful to your husband, but are not the full story. After all, the officer did not witness the collision, and therefore his conclusions about the incident might not be considered controlling by those making decisions about the case.
