Duplicate post
You've already asked about this in another post. Your lawyer really should be handling all this for you. But, for giggles, let me ask you a few things:
*Have you turned this into your insurance?
*Did you hire the lawyer, or did your insurance carrier hire him?
*If you hired him, and he's useless, have you thought about just getting a new lawyer?
*Who has paid the medical bills so far?

hit in rear
Texas - I was hit in the rear last year. Suffered minor injuries. Some neck and back pain for a week or so. There insurance company paid for my car, about $1,500.00. I did not claim any medial bills as my work insurance covered those and did not ask for any recovered damages as to pay them back. My doctor bills were about $2500.00. I walked away with a check for my car repairs and another check for $25,000.00 for medical, pain and suffering. I probably could have received more if I would have had an attorney or went to court. But under there insurance policy, $25,000.00 was there limit of payout.

Clarify
Sounds like all your expenses have been paid for, you're just wanting to know how much you can expect to profit from the situation.
Unless you want to out-right sue the other guy, you're limited to what his insurance policy is worth. Your lawyer should be able to tell you what the guy's policy limits were. Another reason your lawyer may not be calling you is the other carrier is dragging their feet deciding the claim. If the guy's policy cancelled, they're probably trying to find a way out of paying anything. And if your lawyer has nothing new to report, he has nothing new to report.
And Tina8045, you're the reason everyone's rates keep going up. Collecting $25,000 when you had no out-of-pocket expenses is ridiculous. Just because you CAN get money out of something doesn't mean you SHOULD.
