what pooks sed "I'm not sure that getting a lawyer to represent your interests always means suing. I think .... once a lawyer is involved, the insurance companies are quicker to take care of business....(I could be wrong.)"

I agree, sometimes even having one write a letter, or review the settlement before you sign and indicating that they will can help. Hopefully that's all you need to do, have one read the settlement before you sign, that would be best.

We are a litigious (sp?) society and that's a shame, but this does not mean you are suing or intend to.

My ex had to get a lawyer to get the insurance settlement from her own insurance company when she was hit by an uninsured and unlicensed of course driver. Took years, from her own company....she'd still be waiting without one sheesh kabob.

But mainly I'm glad it sounds like DBF will be ok. This thread could have been much worse and that's the most important.
