Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 THE PATIENT needs to contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the procedures for filing a complaint and to let the attorney know she is doing this. http://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1174.htm THE PATIENT also needs to file a complaint with the Oregon Insurance Commissioner. https://www4.cbs.state.or.us/exs/ins/complaint/ Important to remember that this is a beef between THE PATIENT and her insurance, THE PATIENT and her attorney; this is not a threesome relationship.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 ....or she could start calling around to find another attorney, which she's probably going to need to do anyway after a complaint to the OSB. Re the lost wages, to get them as she goes it has to be under PIP, which means she has to be disabled for 14 days, get a note from a doc and a note from the employer saying when she would have worked and what her hourly rate is. If PIP denies, the next step is PIP arbitration or litigation, although with a 10/07 DOL, you're not past the 6 months for attorney's fees to vest which means the attorney either tries the case for free or her max upside is less than all of her lost wages.
