车祸 help please!

My daughter was hit by a car almost two years ago. Her leg was broken and went through serious surgery. The bill for the surgery was more than $50k, not mention other follow up treatments and expenses.

We hired an attorney two years ago to handle that. Now the attorney said the guy who hit my daughter doesn't have any asset and doesn't have good income. His insurance only can pay $50k. The attorney pushed us to accept the $50k settlement.

We can't accept it and asked the attorney to file a lawsuit. But the attorney didn't want to do that since he thinks there is no chance to get money. The attorney just keeps ignoring us and simply did nothing.

The case is almost two years, if we don't take action, we will lose the chance to sue the guy.

Any advices? Can the attorney just ignore our requests?

And at this point, no other attorney is willing to take the case.

Any ideas, advices are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
