Aid, Attorney Botches Situation Statue Of Limitations

Postby Roi » Sat Feb 08, 2014 3:06 pm

MY FATHER WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED AT A BUSINESS FACTORY IN ANOTHER STATE, HE WAS PROVIDING THEIR GOODS WHEN AN UNLOADING DEVICE MALFUNCTIONED AND DROPPED A BUNCH OF METAL THAT KNOCKED MY FATHER AROUND AND SMASHED THEIR LEG & BASE, HE USED An AREA LAWYER AND FILED COMPLAINT THE ORGANIZATION AND THEIR INSURANCE AMITTED RESPONSIBILITY HOWEVER STARTED Balancing THE Negotiation ISSUE IN ONE INSURER FOR THE NEXT, PULLING IT OUT SO LONG AS THE MIGHT. AND MY PARENTS LAWYER WAS NEVER AT WORK AND Would not RETURN CALLS- WAS OUT-OF-TOWN EVERY OTHER WEEK BASED ON HIS SECRETARY, AND WOULD ONLY MAKE AN EFFORT TO CONTACT THE INSURANCE PROVIDER MANAGING THE Negotiation EVERY MONTH OR TWO. THE MONTH PRIOR TO THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS WAS TO END OUR FATHERS ATTORNEY STARTED INITIALLY TO FILE SUIT, FIRST BY CONTACTING Legal COUNSEL BECAUSE STATE WHERE IN ACTUALITY THE COMPANY AND ACCIDENT WAS, WHEN HE STARTED INITIALLY TO MAKE THE CONTACT HE QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT OKLAHOMA HAS MERELY A THREE-YEAR STATUE OF LIMITATIONS AND THE EVENT & ANY Negotiation CHANCE WAS VOID, THE ORGANIZATION WAS OFF THE HOOK OVER Annually AGO. AND IF HE'D ONLY BEEN A BIT MORE ATTENTATIVE TO HIS CLIENTS AND INSTANCES HE WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED THAT OUT SOMETIME AGO, BEFORE IT ABSOLUTELY WAS ALSO LATE. HOWEVER WHEN HE CALLED MY FATHER, HE SAID Do not WORRY I've MALPRACTICE INSURANCE THAT'LL PAY YOU, AND PAY YOU QUICKLY SINCE IT WAS MY PROBLEM. HE APPROACHED FATHER SHORTLY NEXT AND SAID HE SWITCHED ANYTHING INTO HIS INSURANCE PROVIDER AND THERE COULD BE NO PROBLEMS, HE'D BE PAID RAPIDLY-IN THE END HE'S ALREADY WAITED MORE than 4 YEARS, WHEN IT WILL HAVE NOW BEEN HANDLED This PAST YEAR. WHICH WAS IN MARCH OF THE YEAR AND THE ATTORNEY IS AGAIN NOT RETURNING CALLS AND ALWAYS OUT-OF TOWN. I've BROWSE THE FAQ'S ON THIS MATTER, AND I'M STILL UNCLEAR & ONE INDIVIDUAL INFORMS MY FATHER HE does not REQUIRE A LAWYER TO SIMPLY FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE ETHICS BOARD, AND ANOTHER SAYS HE REQUIRES A LAWYER OR THE INSURANCE PROVIDER WILL DRAG IT OUT. INCIDENTALLY MY FATHER AND THE LAWYER UNDER CONSIDERATION LIVE IN ARKANSAS.

It's annoying, hard to read, and the quivalent of shouting.And split it into paragraphs, too.

Your Dad needs to hire a Legal Malpractice lawyer in AR to file a lawsuit against the lawyer in AR.That's the long and short of it. Period.

or other regulatory agency.
They can start their own investigation and that may make the attorney play fair.Obviously, your dad shouldn't really be believing anything the attorney tells him...
There's a statute of limitations on the suit against the attorney also.

ASSIST, ATTORNEY BOTCHES SITUATION SCULPTURE OF LIMITATIONSBy: foster1 (Customer) Date: 7/29/2008 12:06:24 AM Member Since: 7/28/2008 State: AR MY dad was critically hurt at a company warehouse in another state, he was providing their products when an unloading device malfunctioned and dropped a bundle of metal that knocked my dad around and crushed his ankle and foot.He hired a local lawyer and filed a complaint. The organization and their insurance accepted responsibility, however started balancing the negotiation issue in one insurer to anotherâ??pulling it out so long as they might. My father's lawyer was never at work and would not return calls---was out-of-town every other week based on his assistant, and could just make an effort to contact the insurance provider managing the negotiation every month or two. The month prior to the statute of limitations was to end, my father's attorney started initially to file suit, first by calling legal counsel for the reason that state where in actuality the organization and incident was. While he started initially to make contact he quickly discovered that okay has merely a three year. [sol] and the situation was off the land over a year. Previously. If he'd been a bit more attentative to his customers and circumstances he would have discovered that out sometime ago, before it was also late.But when he called my father, he stated "do not worry, I've a malpractice insurance that will pay you, and pay you rapidly since it was my problem. He approached father soon after that and said he transformed everything into his insurance company. and there would be no problems.He would be compensated quickly.Heis already waited more than 4 decadesâ??which was in March of the year and the atty is again not returning calls and usually out-of-town. I've browse the FAQis on this issue, and Iam still unclear & one individual shows my father does not require a lawyer simply to file a complaint with the ethics panel, and another says he requires a lawyer or the insurance company. May pull it out.BTW, my father and the lawyer live in Illinois
