Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

re:auto accident in texas;new lottery type online program for claim settlement?

i was involved in an auto accident in 6/99. advised my attorney that i was ready to settle in 10/99. my attorney states he is going to submit my settlement claim through a new online computer program which he describes similiar to a "lottery". i really do not understand what he is talking about and when i told him that i did not understand he seemed "put out" with me. can you give me any information about this new program or where i can find out more about it. thanks,

I saw something like this about a year ago, but I haven't tried it. Rather than like a lottery, it's more like an auction process. The attorney submits his demand and the insurance co. responds until they reach a number both agree on. I always inform my clients of any offers to settle unless I have obtained a bottom line before negotiations.
