I stopped at a red light and was hit from behind, hired a lawyer and lost the case because there was previous damage on the back bumper of my car.
Apparently this is standard procedure in Germany that the insurance companies and the legal system has set up and don't understand why my lawyer didn't ask:
"was there any previous damage on the back of your car?"
It would have saved me the legal fees and all the stress.
Where can I file a complaint about my lawyer?
I don't want to go to court with him because that just means another stack of unknown legal fees.
