attorney involved in this for your own protection - you may not be a litigious person, but you sustained serious injuries for which you were not responsible. And there are way too many moving parts to this story - you need a good attorney who has the expertise and resources to sort everything out and get you the compensation you deserve. And you have no idea the long-term effects of those injuries. (have you considered you may well have sustained a concussion too?)
You're not suing the property owner - you're claiming again the insurance company he pays to cover him for these types of incidents. For your own protection, get an attorney involved - companies will dance around you forever and keep putting off, or will make an offer just to get rid of you - you have 3 years in Mississippi to bring a personal injury lawsuit - which may not be necessary if it's handled properly from the beginning.
I still don't think you have a claim against the law firm - but that may be a state-specific thing or something culled from the agreement you had with them. Again, something only a good attorney can sort out.
Good Luck |
