Is there a time limit on settling for an auto accident personal injury case?
The accident took place May 30, 2008. I am not sure if my lawyer is being really slow at resolving this or if I am just impatient. Anyways, I have already gotten him photos of the accident and a copy of all my medical bills. He said that he would get a hold of me when he figures out how much we are settling for. I haven’t heard from in since the end of September. I have considered finding a new lawyer. But if the one I got is still on schedule or at least okay with the time limit I will stick with him. So I was just curious, is there or what is the time limit to settle?

You have hired an attorney.
As such, you will be paying him 1/3 (33%) of any settlement you get.
Since you are paying him such a huge chunk of money, I suggest you call his office and make an appointment to meet with him (or his paralegal or case manager) and ask him your questions.
Yes, it’s called the statute of limitations, and varies by state.
When you get a lawyer, it slows stuff down. Count on 18 months, if you get a lawyer.
