You're the client. If you're paying him by the hour I would ask him to arrange for a settlement with the insurance company or whoever you're suing. However, if he's agreed to take a % of your winnings you might want to ask him how much more he expects to win by holding out longer. If it's not a substantial amount and you want to settle sooner rather than later ask your lawyer to do so. If you're at the point of financial hardship, he will not be allowed to refuse.

If you have a really good claim, get a lawyer. That usually gets some action.

If you get in touch with the States Attorney office they will be able to give you the address of the office you need to speak to. Just tell them you have grievance against a lawyer.

i feel so bad for you, i am sorry. these things should not happen. i`am facing a case now about to call the lawyer and say settle, but i feel i`am getting screwed even before anything starts. car accident messed up back or tho claims arthritis my Dr. says nerve damage yet the or tho gives me nerve blocker medicine. well if i settle and arthritis is the issue i will gain very little monetarily. plus live with nerve damage the rest of life. but we need the money from settlement to help us out since i`am out of work.yes you can reopen a case if not by a different argument .

get an attorney, that's the only way to get out of anything.\notherwise it's your word against theirs and you don't know the law and the loopholes.\nIn accidents, NEVER admit guilt !\nI have been told that by many attorneys.

Go straight to the ER. Did you fill out papers with apolice officer at the time of the accident. Did you refuse to get checked at the time the accident? If so you may be out of luck. But still start the process and get a good lawyer.

look in your local yellow pages under "lawyers" and look for one who specializes in personal injury cases.  usually their ads will mention car accidents.  call them up and ask for an initial consultation - this should be an hour's worth of discussion, for free - if a place won't give you a free consultation, go elsewhere.  if you live anywhere other than the sticks, there should be plenty who will give you a free consultation.

Your lawyer is blowing smoke,  of course you merely sue the truck company, once they are sued, I am sure they will name the insurance company.\n\nAlso if the police did a report on this person ( accident report , the police report will show thier insurance company ( get a up to date copy of the accident report with the additional info from the truck company on it.  ( I will assume they also ticketed the truck company for leaving the scene of an accident and the accident)\n\nSo just sue the truck company, if he does not have insurance who cares, he will just have to pay hisself.\n\nYou have a lazy lawyer who just wants to settle with an insurance company for a share of the money ( not really do any real legal work, even if you find the insurance company I would change lawyers anyway.

find out if there is an attorney who would accept your case on a contingency fee basis; you don't pay your attorney unless he/she wins the case.  negligence has many different aspects.  check with your state bar association for attorneys who will work on cases like these.
