Re: personel injury

You have a few options: First, some lawyers will accept the policy limits without investigating whether there are assets or additional policies from which you could seek additional compensation -- a second opinion from another attorney might be warranted; Second, you could ask the attorneys to reduce their fee; Third, your attorney should be acting on your behalf to reduce the amounts of any liens/subrogation claims to maximize your compensation.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, you may contact me via email.

Good luck!
