My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Ohio
Hello,
My wife was involved in a not at fault vehicle accident while pregnant in 2015. We hired a lawyer to represent her injuries and after nearly 3 years the lawyer called us to meet in his office and they informed us that the most they were able to get is $20,000 for Pain and Suffering/medical expenses which will also entitle 33% lawyer cut. We agreed with them to moved forward and close the case if that is all they can do.
Last week they called us to come in and sign papers and the check. They had a Release of All Claims document prepared and another document breaking down the lawyer fees etc...and the final amount that we were left with. We asked them if they can provide us with the Final Settlement Agreement letter from the insurance but all they gave us is the Release of All Claims and we felt as if they were trying to hide it the Final Settlement Agreement from us.
Today, I called the insurance company and had them pull up the Claim and the insurance agent informed us that on February 22, 2018 they issued 2 checks for the amount of $20,000 each but he couldn't provide any additional information such as check numbers and suggested that we talk to the insurance adjuster that's handling the claim.
Unfortunately the adjuster was out of the office we left him a voicemail.
My question is, will the insurance adjuster tell us about the issued checks if in fact there were 2 checks or 1 ? or will they refuse to provide us any information since a lawyer is representing our case. If the answer is no how can we go about finding out? should we request something from the lawyer? if yes what document are we asking them for?
Is there another way to find out with out asking the lawyer? I just don't want them to sense that were investigating till were 100% sure.
Your help is greatly appreciated
Thank you in a dvance
