My co-worker got into a car accident last month and was not at fault.
He and his wife were hurt, but not too bad. He skipped a day of work.
He hired one of those billboard lawyers.
After the car was repaired, his payout from the insurance company was $27,000.
The split was as such:
1/3 - lawyer
1/3 - doctor
1/3 - client
I wonder how much he would have got if he didn't hire a lawyer.
