Your Attorney can get 20%(using Louisiana fee) of the MSA off the Indemnity portion of your settlement. For instance you have a $100k Indemnity settlement and a $100k MSA. Your Attorney gets 20% from the Idemnity AND 20% of your MSA from the Indemnity.

Now Your Attorney can choose not to take 20% of your MSA BUT most of them greedy turds will get all they can. Now he cannot get anything from a open medical settlement but most IC will not choose this route and your Attorney does not like this Route.


I know this because I have been through this in my state. I guess it is possible your state over rides this.

Also at 41 years of age, you wil have a battle getting SSDI unless you have a really bad....

Just being Honest with you. If your Doctor is not on board you need to get him onboard.
