Fayette County Kentucky Client v. Other Driver
Our Client was hit head on by the Driver of another vehicle. Our client
suffered many injuries including episodes of seizures. Our Client originally
went to one of the big TV ad firms in July of 2013 the same month the
accident occurred. After the big TV ad firm worked on the case for 19
months they obtained an offer of almost $30,000 from the insurer and advised
the client to accept. Fortunately Our Client decided to get a second opinion
and came to our office. Our office obtained a complete set of medical
records and three months after she walked into our office the insurance
company offered to settle for more than three times what they had previously
offered our client.
The Big TV AD firm then sought to collect an attorney's lien of $9,865.33
for their work on the case. In Kentucky you can only have an attorney's
lien for a reasonable amount. After requesting an invoice of how the firm
obtained the $9,865.33 number it was revealed they could only provide
evidence of work that added up to $8,544.75. It was discovered that in
computing this number they were also billing their time to their former
client at $667/hr. Shortly after this we settled their attorney's
lien for a fraction of what they originally demanded.
