Attorney Abandoned Case, what can I do?
I was rear ended back in Feb of 2002, I was seen at a hospital emergency room because my back was stiff, after about 3 months of the other drivers insurance company not returning my calls or giving me the run around I decided to retain an attorney to handle the case, He (The Attorney) sent me to a chiropractor for some sessions in which he advised I did not have to pay for, He (Attorney) filed to protect my statute exactly on the deadline to do so, this was Feb of 2003, I never heard from him since, I have left dozens of messages and never had a call back, I have a log of every date and time I left him a message. As of today I have approx $2000 with of doctor bills on my credit file as collection accounts, I never received calls from creditors since I had an attorney representing the case, the chiropractor called me today and said I need to start making payments on $1800 or I will be sued and wages attached, I have a CHP accident report stating that the other driver was 100% at fault for unsafe speed for conditions as the safe speed for her using her cell phone would be 0. What can I do? I just want these bills to go away. Can I sue the attorney since he apparently abandoned the case and never advised me of anything?
