Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Massachusetts
Am I entitled to see demand?
I was involved in car accident
while I had a herniated disc
workers comp case open. Once
accident happened workers comp
case closed. The lawyer was
supposed to put the demand for
auto accident to insurance co.
He neglected to put in herni-
ated disc but said he would put
a supplemental in. He flips/
flops about putting in for this
herniated disc. Do I have the
right to see the demand and
supplemental? He speaks ''down''
to me and interrupts me any time I ask him to see the demand. I do not believe he
put the supplemental for the
herniated disc in. Is there
anything I can do? Thanks for your help.

Re: Am I entitled to see demand?
It seems that your relationship with your attorney is deteriorating. Your lawyer has, for a negligence action, 3-years to file suit. There are some exceptions. If your attorney's letter of demand to the insurer left something out, then it is ok to expect that he send a letter to the insurer and add what was omitted. It is not an issue of demands; it is an issue of a working relationship, and an explanation of why something are being done or not done. If you have any questions, contact me office.
