Attorney Dropped Your Case? It’s Not Always the End.
A lawyer ending representation can feel like a dead end—but many strong personal injury cases get dropped for reasons that have nothing to do with merit. Firm Liaison connects you with the right attorney for a second opinion—fast.
Why a Personal Injury Attorney Might Drop a Case:
- Coverage & Collectability: Low policy limits or unclear assets make recovery harder for some firms’ business models.
- Liability Disputes: Conflicting reports/witnesses or comparative fault concerns; another attorney may see a path forward.
- Gaps in Treatment/Records: Missed appointments or delayed care reduce value, but new counsel can help rebuild documentation.
- Complex Facts/Costs: Commercial vehicles, premises claims, or multiple parties require resources not every firm has.
- Capacity & Strategy Mismatch: Some firms focus on fast settlements; others litigate. A better fit can change outcomes.
- Communication Breakdowns: Expectations, timelines, or case goals weren’t aligned—not the strength of your claim.
Bottom line: a dropped case does not automatically mean you don’t have a valid case.
What To Do Now:
- Request Your File: You’re entitled to your records, photos, and correspondence.

FAQs:
Does a dropped case mean I don’t have a case?
No. Different firms evaluate risk differently. A second opinion can reveal coverage or liability paths your prior firm didn’t pursue.
Can I switch attorneys?
Usually yes. Fee issues between firms are typically handled from the same contingency fee and do not increase your cost.
What should I bring to the new attorney?
Accident date, police report number, insurance info, medical timeline, treatment providers, photos, witness contacts, prior demand/denial letters.
How fast can you help?
Often the same day, especially when deadlines are approaching.
