Legal Question
uninsured driver & i have liability ins.only
Thank you for your time! On 01-17-02 I became the victim of a motorcycle crash. An uninsured driver made a left hand turn into oncoming traffic (me). I have hired a lawyer I have liability ins. but no unins.motor/under..coverage.The retainer says:The undersigned Client hereby employs .... to prosecute any legal actions which Client may have for personal injury and/or medical payments coverage arising from an accident which occured on or about ...In consideration of the professional services to be provided I agree to pay 33.1/3% of all amounts recoverd on my behalf, regardless of the source of said recovery in settlement of my claim (except property damage).In the event a satisfactory settlement cannot be obtained, and it becomes necessary to initiate a law suit (wether by filing a Complaint,demanding Uninsured/Underins. Motorist,or Medical Pay arbitration), I agree that the fee shall be Fourty %. I agree to pay $250.00(payable when my case is settled or otherwise resolved) should the Attorneys handle my property damage claim.Is this common practice, to charge seperate for the property damage? PS : I am not getting any answers and they never ever call me back !!!Is this also commom practice?????
