Is this normal practices of attorneys?

Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
If the attorney is representing you on a personal injury claim, yes, you normally must wait until you have finished all medical treatment for our injuries before attempting to settle or file suit. If it is a property damage claim, then you can go ahead and pursue it. Most attorneys representing you for an injury handle the injury claim and let the client pursue the property damage claim on his/her own.

How do I go about this situation.

George L. Aldrich
Answered by attorney George L. Aldrich
Personal Injury lawyer at G. Aldrich Law
Thank you for the question. First off more detail is needed. Were you the at fault party? and if not, were you able to get information about the person who ran, i.e. a license plate number, description of the vehicle, etc. Because you were at work, workers compensation will be your first source for compensation. Workers Comp will run through the department that you are working for, Talk to your supervisor and treat with the in service providers they point you to. If you are able to determine who the driver was who ran, you will also be able to pursue a  third party claim. It can be a little tricky, becuase the law and insurance companies do not allow you to get double compensation. This means, that the workers comp claim and third party claim will neccesarilty involve each other in making sure that at the end of the claims you are compensated fully, but no more than that.

Can I sue for injury due to attack by an inmate at work?

Answered by attorney Robert Andrew Michael Burns (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Law Office of Robert Burns
You cannot sue in tort your employer for a workplace injury. Your remedy against your employer is in the workers compensation system where you might be able to seek a penalty for egregious (not merely negligent) misconduct by your employer. Furthermore, if your had a tort claim outside of workers compensation it would likely be barred by Cal. Government Code Section 844.6: > (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, except as provided > in this section and in Sections 814, 814.2, 845.4, and 845.6, or in Title > 2.1 (commencing with Section 3500) of Part 3 of the Penal Code, a public > entity is not liable for: > (1) An injury proximately caused by any prisoner. > . . . > (c) Except for an injury to a prisoner, nothing in this section prevents > recovery from the public entity for an injury resulting from the dangerous > condition of public property under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 830) > of this part. > (d) Nothing in this section exonerates a public employee from liability > for injury proximately caused by his negligent or wrongful act or omission. > The public entity may but is not required to pay any judgment, compromise > or settlement, or may but is not required to indemnify any public employee, > in any case where the public entity is immune from liability under this > section; except that the public entity shall pay, as provided in Article 4 > (commencing with Section 825) of Chapter 1 of this part, any judgment based > on a claim against a public employee who is lawfully engaged in the > practice of one of the healing arts under any law of this state for > malpractice arising from an act or omission in the scope of his employment, > and shall pay any compromise or settlement of a claim or action, based on > such malpractice, to which the public entity has agreed. Presumably, your prisoner is financially incompetent and thus infeasible to expect to satisfy a judgment for damages. You are, however, presumptively entitled to restitution for your economic losses in a Criminal Court proceeding in which the prisoner is convicted.
