Where do I begin? In August I was T-boned by a taxi cab. My car was completely totaled on the spot and I had my 3 year old son with me as well. I had hired an attorney because on the day of the accident I had a feeling that the cab company was not going to cooperate. I was right.
A police report was filed and the company went and changed their name a few days later. Steinger, Iscoe and Green took the case, saying that since I had a good case there should be no problem. I find out 4 months later the taxi company had no insurance the day of the accident. HOW DOES A TAXI COMPANY DRIVE PEOPLE AROUND ALL DAY WITH NO INSURANCE???
My main problem is that Steinger Iscoe and Green strung me along for over a year. They never returned phone calls. They never updated me about my case. On August of this year I get a letter saying that they were contacting the cab co. To offer a settlement package. The cab co. Does not respond so I call my paralegal who tells me that they changed my attorney to someone else, without even letting me know. There's about 20 attorney's in one office.
All of a sudden about 3 months go by and I get a letter stating that they can no longer take my case because it's "not economical" whatever that means. I'm so angry. They put all these commercials on TV about how they act as a "client advocate" but they did nothing but waste my time for a year and a half. They are total scumbags. When I called them to tell them I don't appreciate the way they kept me hanging for over a year their response was "things happen, deal with it" How can someone be this nasty? I have permanent back injuries that will never go away. I haven't even owned a car since the accident.
At the time of the accident I was a college student. Now I'm a registered nurse but I don't know how long I'll be able to practice with my back in constant pain. It's so frustrating. People who are honest and hardworking who have car insurance end up getting screwed by people who don't feel they should have to buy car insurance.
The crazy thing is these taxi people are still in business, just operating under a different name. It's horrible that people get away with things like this. Just do yourself a favor and hire a real attorney. Not some douchebags like Steinger Iscoe and Green.
