1/3 is the way to go.......I have used many attys this way and prefer it....just make sure they're willing to go the distance....and not settle right away.

no if I don't win he doesn't win, and the 1/3 includes everything (I just got off the phone with him) And there is no way I can loose, It's just how much will I win.

Sounds like there is no way he can lose either. I don't know how much a broken nose is worth. Maybe that's another thread but I am guessing 25k max.

a broken nose isnt a disability.
my friend just had his foot cut off and they said he could still work....they offered 20k

No but I have scars, no vehicle, and this aggravated my previous closed head injury, I have a little whiplash, and severe back pain. Couple that to a little post-traumatic stress disorder, and the cop already being issued a citation along with my missed work. That's a surefire win!

who I sue is up to my lawyer, I just turned things over to him, so I really don't know who I'm suing!
