Let the commission do its job. If you hire your own
attorney they will take your case on contigency which will
cost you 33-40 percent. So, if you end up with a 100,000
settlement you can kiss 40,000 good bye. Since the company
is already trying to settle why pay an attorney 40% to
accept a settlement? Be patient and let the settlement
discussions or jury trial unfold. Best of luck to you.
