Was in an accident back in March where a driver sped through a red light and totaled my vehicle. It left my friend with a concussion, and huge scar on his face. He was offered some money from the insurance company, but the insurance companies have been fighting over liabilities since then and there is a possibility he wouldn't be able to receive about half of that money (this sum didn't include time missed from work, and my friend will barely drive at night now from the PTSD). He contacted McCormick to try and see what the options were about getting the remaining money from the other insurance company. The case manager (titles are important here) told him that she didn't have any information and that he needed to talk to one of the attorneys… but in order to speak with an attorney he needed to sign this contract. He asked, "will i have to pay your 33% fee if i sign and we decide to not move forward?" the case manager said "no, as long as we don't do anything for your case or contact the insurance company"
"well can you please wait to contact the insurance company until i speak with the attorney?" "OF COURSE"

Fast forward…. I receive a call a day later …. My accident case has been moved to another adjuster because someone hired a lawyer… that's weird? The attorney hasn't responded to any of my friend's phone calls or emails? Fine, maybe protocol? The attorney calls my friend, he says moving forward with this case is honestly a huge gamble and it's a long lengthy process to try and receive the remainder of the money. So my friend asks to withdrawal. No problem! WRONG. He receives an email with a document explaining how he is withdrawing his case and they will be charging 33% since they've done work on the case. He calls them back… what work did you do?! Well, the case manager contacted your insurance company. But don't worry, we'll try and ask your attorney's manager to waive that since we didn't really do anything (her words, not mine). THANKS!
Almost a week goes by, and no one calls or responds to an email. He called back today and the attorney again, won't answer his call. He calls reception AGAIN and says "please don't transfer me to the attorney again, can i please speak to someone else" … transfers him to Micheal who i am pretty sure is the manager we've heard so much about. Micheal proceeds to tell him that the case manager and attorney aren't taking his calls anymore because they're no longer on his case (comical at this point… like what?), he signed a document, legally they're allowed to take that money, and they have no intention of waiving the fee for a whopping 40 mins of their time. Not nice, but fine… we don't want to withdrawal then. TOO BAD. YOU FIRED US, AND WE'RE TAKING YOUR MONEY, and hangs up on him.
How do you treat people that way? How can you trust someone who acts like that and won't even return a call? My friend really needed that money and turned to McCormick for HELP and this is how he was treated. Like many reviews before mine… I would give 0 stars if i could. Don't make the same mistake of trusting them like we did. Enjoy the money, McCormick, and enjoy reading this review on every platform i can get my hands on.
