Legal Question
I went to mediation on my case, that is when I found out the other side offered a settlement, a couple of months before, and my lawyer never told me. He sat and read emails on his phone during mediation. The mediator asked if we we're boring him. He said he found out the night before mediation, that I had a compressed fracture, he said he was quite surprised. He commented to me that sometimes he wonders if his size (very obese) was the reason he sometimes loses jury trials. Did not have his papers ready for the mediation. So he used mine. He did not talk to any of my doctors about my case. When I asked him about that, he said "I'd do that if we had to go to trial".
I wish I had not been badgerred into a settlement. But I did. Now he wants 40% of the settlement. Do I have any recourse about not telling me about the offer? Anything I can do?
