Call another lawyer or the discplinary board, and see HOW to get your lawyer to get paid QUANTUM MERUIT (the value of the work he ACTUALLY did - probably just a few hours worth of work), as opposed to 1/3 of $250K ($75K, which is 300+ hrs at $200/hr, which is impossible). he should get 10-20 hours, tops.
Also: you can sue for the remaining $600K and other damages - you would win a judgement, which may not be collectable NOW, but is good for 10-20 yrs (depends on the state). So, in 7 years, the dude hits the lottery - you get paid. In 5 years, dude gets a job - you start garnishing $100 or $200 from his paycheck.
Your PI lawyer is just looking to turn the file for a quick payout. This crap makes me sick, YOU get injured, and the only people who get paid are the lawyer and the insurance company. Why CAN'T you get the $263K equity in the house, in addition to the $250K?
Get a different lawyer.
Personal injury lawyer question?Here is the thing. When you say that family taht hit you, I am assumoing more than one person was at fault. Consider this: are these people young? Do you think they will have other assets in the future? Are they likely to get better jobs (currently in school, etc), stuff like that. When you win a judgement, you can wait and attach an asset any time one of them buys it.
In this case, it doens't seem like these people are the type that will be able to pay you anything. So your lawyer is probably right
