Personal Injury lawyer at Gregory M. Janks, P.C.
If you are unhappy with your current lawyer, you are free to discharge him and either hire alternate counsel or represent yourself. You will owe the lawyer any costs incurred in representing you and a fee based on the time he has spent on your case. Usually those items can be asserted as a lien on any future recovery made by you/new counsel. I would suggest it is best to sit down with your attorney and get a clear picture of what he has done in your case, whether it has been investigated, whether medicals have been collected, whether a claim has been filed, whether suit has been filed, what your attorney believes your chances of success are, etc. before you make a decision on any firing him or hiring new counsel. It may just be that you have not been properly apprised of the actions already taken, and if your claim/case is in a good posture, there may be no need for alternate representation. Incidentally, there is no set time for a case to either settle or go to trial, although it is typical to receive a trial date within approximately 1 year from when suit is filed. Generally Michigan law indicates there is a 1 year statute of limitations on any PIP suit, and a 3 year statute for a tort claim. So the suits do have to be filed within those respective time limits if a settlement can not be reached on an informal, out of court basis.

Not enough facts are given to respond to your question. However, if your children's alleged claim is related to or dewrived from your personal work-related claim, only you should proceed under your State's worker's compensation laws to seek legal address.
