Legal Question in Personal Injury in Washington

Attorney didn't pay all of subrogation owed

We hired an attorney because we were in four auto collisions in 12 months (1998-99), none were our fault. We settled two years ago (Sept. 2003).

Now we received notice of being sent to collections for almost $6,000 because our attorney apparently failed to make full payment to the insurance company. What are our options to get this corrected? The attorney seems to have disappeared.

Re: Attorney didn't pay all of subrogation owed

You'll need to contact the Washington State Bar Association and file a complaint against that attorney. After making the complaint you'll want to file an application with the Lawyer's Fund for Client Protection through the Bar Association for payment of the $6000.00 that your attorney has apparently stolen.
