Who Pays Your Attorney's Fees in a Palm Beach County PIP Lawsuit Against Your Own Insurance Carrier?

If you succeed in court on your PIP claim, the insurance company will have to pay.  The court may also award fees when they exceed the amount in controversy and if the insurance company contests your attorney's right to fees, then your attroney will be entitled to recover what he/she spent defending the issue.  Fees for pre-suit work may also be recovered when the insurer failed to reasonably settle a claim.  Even if you settle with the insurance company after filing suit, thye will still be responsible for fees.

The best thing you can do if you have been injured in a West Palm Beach car accident is find an experienced Palm Beach County car accident attorney who understands accident litigation and the obligations of the insurance company.  Never let the fear of attorneys fee prevent you from learning your rights and entitlements especially when you have been injured and never attempt to negotiate or sepak to the insurance company yourself.
