Why Didn't My Lawyer Press a Claim Road Construction Company for Dangerous Conditions

[DiaMarie]

My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of Florida. I was driving down a highway and came upon road construction. So I slowed down and came to a stop. The road was not marked properly and the result of it a vehicle slammed into the back end of my mini van.

I was hurt (driver) and my passenger. The gal that slammed into me paid $9,000 in the settlement. The passenger of my car got over $100,000. I kept telling my attorney that I should of gotten more. But he kept saying that because I did not have some type of a rider on my vehicle I could not get any more.

I thought it would be within my right to sue the construction company. But when I pushed it the attorney dropped me like a hot potatoe. Why?

If you want to better understand your lawyer's strategy, you will need to ask him to explain it. We have no way of knowing what is strategy was.
