I was a passenger in a car accident in '04 and my lawyer finally was able to ask for a settlement after the people involved in my injury decided to go ghost and I was able to find them. I am entitled to personal injury loss and my lawyer is asking for more because the main injury I sustained may be permanent. Even though I'm entitled to personal injury fees along with the other parties that's involved(the person who hit me and caused the car to hit two other cars) can I get more? If so what amount can I get once my lawyer get his fee and the state of Kansas get their fee from taxes since this is a civil suit. My personal injury gain is $450K. My lawyer is asking for over $600K more for med. exp. and loss of income. His fee range is 32% if net recovery is reached, 36% if recovery is reached after filing a lawsuit, and 40% if recovery is reached after commencement of final prep for trial. Could I also ask my insurance to pay the legal fees? Can't find info anywhere about this.
