If my auto accident case is dismissed, will I have to pay defense attorney costs?

accident attorney
I have an automobile collision box which a logging lorry motorist jacknifed his lorry as well as strike me conduct on. we postulated critical injuries, as well as am suing. Nobody saw a accident, it was distant out. we was flown out by medivac. The word association representing a logging association hired their “experts” who came behind as well as explain we veered in to his line as well as strike him, thus my injuries have been “my fault.”
What happens if after reviewing a complete box a decider accepts a invulnerability ask for dismissal. Will we have to compensate a thousands a invulnerability outlayed up to which point???

    Suggestions:
  1. Most likely.

    Its also possible if you win that you have to pay costs as well.

    The lawyers costs will come out of your settlement before you get your money.

    Make sure you ask the lawyer to get the judge to order the defendants insurance company to pay costs if you win.

    BTW, without trying to scare you, I had a settlement a few years ago that didnt go to court, I was awarded $21,000 and I walked out with a cheque for $8800 after lawyers bills.

  2. Only your lawyer can tell you for sure. I hope YOUR insurance company is involved in this. If they are not, they should be.

  3. No, you are not responsible for the defense’s expenses/fees unless the insurance defense attorney filed an offer of judgment. You could be responsible for some of the fees and costs from the date the offer of judgment was filed until the matter is resolved/dismissed. Ask your attorney.
