california auto accident attorney
Auto accident settlement too low, take it to small claims court?
I was hit by a car, he was at fault. 15K is all the negligent driver had, attorney wont pursue him because he has nothing. I owe about 30K for medical bills plus more needed medical care for my broken leg. Because that bastard has caused me a lot of problems and money, I would like to take this to small claims court and try to get the maximum, which I believe is 5K (California). I did sign a release for the 15K and on there it was stated that the man at fault is forever discharged/ fully released from everything he has caused. Does this mean I can’t sue him in small claims court? I know 5K isn’t much when compared to everything I have lost, but at least I want this man pay something and maybe force him to think about what he did. Any feed back will be much appreciated. Thanks.
That man was more than negligent and should never be allowed to drive again because he might kill someone.
You have signed away any other legal recourse. You might want to duke it out with the guy now.
