If I understand correctly, the O/P agreed to pay 30% of what ever the civil suit yields. It's been my experience that settlement checks are written to the lawyer who in turn sends a separate check, (settlement minus fees) to their client. How does a lawyer feel entitled to any part of the insurance coverage paid directly to the injured party?

He signed a contract saying 30% of ALL benefit including insurance.
