  Personal injury can be daunting and cause a person to feel over whelmed.  Unfortuantley insurance companies seem to have different policies depending on who is conducting the negotiations.  Often times insurance companies will attempt to pay as little as possible unless challenged by the legal scrutiny of a lawyer.  What the core issue seems to be is the amount of damages you have suffered.  Although you have a preexisting condition this should not be an excuse by the insurance company to avoid paying for legitimate harm in which was caused by the accident.  Another core issue seems to be the issue of causation.  Damages must have been actually and proximatley caused by the accident.  It is possible that the insurance company is claiming that 1200 is the portion of medical bills that was actually and proximatley caused by the accident.  However, there are valid legal arguments to rebut this argument.  These types of cases are very fact determinative.  In order to accuratley advise you I must know more detail as to the specifics of the accident, police report, if there was one made, details as to your preexisting condition as well as, how you were injured by the accident.  Further, how has it affected your life and occupation if at all?  Your best decision depends on the specific circumstances of your case.  If you would like to contact me for a complimentary evaluation of your case I would be pleased to help you.  I can be contacted at 415-827-1425  Codi M. Dada Esq.

Can I hire a different attorney than the one I have representing me now in an auto accident?

Richard S. Lowell
Answered by attorney Richard S. Lowell (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Magnuson Lowell P.S.
Yes you can. You have control. You can retain a new attorney and ask that your file me transferred to the new attorney. But carefully read the retainer agreement you signed with your present attorney before doing so. You will probably be responsible for any out of pocket expenses the attorney may have incurred on your behalf (e.g., costs of obtaining medical records). Additionally, most retainer agreements provide that if you terminate your attorney, your attorney will be entitled to a lien against your eventual recovery for the reasonable time already expended on your case. So if you want to change attorneys, the sooner the better.
