Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

I was a commerial driver doing long hours of driving. I cant do that anymore. Was involvex in a personal car accident.

after a year of therapy for my back, the auto insurance adjuster is only offering

$3500. settlement. The lawyer doesnt want to file suit only because the doctors stated that I have lost of motion BUT the didnt state what percentage.

He basically sayin take the $3500. Or find another lawyer.

Does this sound correct?

Is there someone willing to take over?

It sounds like your current attorney does not want to take the time and effort to properly and effectively represent your interests. There was a somewhat recent Court of Appeals case which said that you do not need numerical range of motion testing which is contemporaneous with the accident. You should certainly get a second opinion as to the value of your case before accepting such a small sum in settlement. Feel free to call my office at 212-532-1200 for a free evaluation. My office has been in the personal injury field for over fifty years. Ask for Matthew Schroeder, Esq.
