Resources & Discussions on Various Types of Lawsuits
apart from your attorney getting a cut from a personal injury settlement, do the doctors who treated you also?
Yup when they see there is some slices of pie left , someone will always want a serving. sigh
No, not unless they were also named co-defendants
Any money advanced to you for living expenses are paid, Then doctors bills are paid, then the court costs, service fees and so forth are paid, then the attorney gets his cut and you get what’s left. Generally, the expenses are paid in that order. The attorney’s fees are a percentage of the total award.
Fortunately, you don’t have to pay income taxes on your share.
