Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

The attorney we had withdrew from PI case a year ago and on our own we�re close to settling with insurance company for a sum that�s more than the prior attorney was able to obtain. If the attorney failed to file a lien and or notice to insurance company is he entitled to anything (fees/costs)? And is it common for the defense attorney to contact him and let him know we settled?
