Accident

[Alpha D]

Either way all lawyers are a scam and are all going to be expensive.

Thats what i guess i was sort of getting at, at the same time when you are dealing, with agency's that try and pull a fast one on you it makes you wonder which of the two is the better wrong. I am not sure what is even a fair amount. Ill send you some details via text since youve been their from the beginning.

How messed up did you get in the accident?

Unless you were seriously hurt (serious medical bills) and out of work, it doesn't seem like going through this big ordeal is worth it.

Fighting with insurance companies is a PITA, been there done that after stuffing my VIII at BIR. As you seem to have realized, every lawyer will take ~1/3 of any settlement... I was at a point in my fight where if I had to LAWYRUP (I know some people here will get that) I would still have been out the same amount of money once medical had been paid out, but the difference would have been the ability to get what I wanted out of my insurer in the process, so I was prepared to do it on principle. I just got lucky that it didn't come to that.

At the end of the day, I'm not sure how much room you have to do anything at this point, since technically by taking the payout on collision you've settled with them on the claim... Medical usually pays out first.

Spaz beat me to it. Any lawyer is going to take 30-40%, pretty standard.

And yes, LAWYRUP. Better call Jimmy McGill.

They didnt care that it happened at BIR? Or did you have to get special permissions with insurance for that? I always assumed they wouldnt cover stuff that happened "off road". Interesting

It's a long and drawn-out story, but it comes down to an HPDE being an educational event and not a "Racing, practicing for racing, a speed contest, or speed demonstration." Legalities are simply word games.
