Try to get legal fees back. I'm sure your lawyer knows this, but you should try to get the case dismissed if at all possible. | ||

I've heard of that story before, never seen any proof of it being true though. Else people would be ramming their heads through peoples windows and sueing them all the time :/ | ||

This is one example. | ||

If I recall correctly, McDonalds was actually at fault, their coffee was way too hot. | ||

Also, should investigate the hospital where their actual damages arise. Some cases are resolved with a dismissal and sanctions if it seems that hospitals exaggerate plaintiff's claims in anticipation of litigation. That seems most likely in this case. I highly doubt that the injuries from a 20 mph collision are enough to make it worthwhile bring this case to court. Be wary of their attempts to settle with you. They may prey upon your fear of losing in a lawsuit when in actuality they have only very minimal damages. Your fear of "$50,000" could cause you to settle for $10,000 when they really only deserve about $500. | ||

Take this with a grain of salt. A lot of these "extreme lawsuits" are fabrications. http://www.snopes.com/legal/lawsuits.asp That said, what evidence, if any, do you have? (i.e. crash scene, after photos, etc.). I probably wouldn't have thought to take pictures but maybe you guys do? Either way, I'd need more details about the medical problems they claim to have. Couldn't hurt to at least talk to a lawyer though. | ||
