What can we do about a lawyer who keeps putting us off?
Question by Amanda: What can we do about a lawyer who keeps putting us off?
In 2006 my husband was in a very serious car wreck. He suffered many life threatening injuries. A manufacturing defect caused his wreck, he received a recall notice a few weeks after his accident. He met with the lawyer and hired him to represent him. Every so often my husband calls to find out the details of his case and he has been given numerous updates and the lawyer is never available to speak directly with him. Here are a few of the updates he has been given:
–We are waiting on a bill from the hospital.
–We are waiting to hear back from the manufacturer.
–The manufacturer made an offer but it was much too low.
–Mr. “Lawyer” is getting ready for a big criminal case and has not had time to work on your case.
We’re sure the statue of limitations has run out at this point, and we were trying to find out what we should do? Is this a normal thing lawyers do?
