Getting Creditors To Work With You

Personal Injury Case Ongoing, but my credit is getting ruined what can I do?
I was injured while I was shopping, rushed to the ER etc… I have three herniated disks, permanent nerve damage, major concussion etc… I have a Lawyer who honestly hasn’t done anything yet. I have been mailing letters to the companies and other thing like Credit Cards and other bills I cant pay. The job I had fired me and I technically cant work yet. Its been 6 months. My credit is in the tanks. What can I do? isn’t my lawyer supposed to be working with creditors? I had a 730 credit score now less than 400! in a few months. I was on bed rest for months! Please Help….
PS Can you fire a lawyer if signed something?
I know that it is tough, but in the long run, it is for the best. The insurance company will be willing to give you a few thousand dollars to go away. Your lawyer is probably preparing a case that will get you substantially more.
You can fire your lawyer, but then you will have to start the whole thing again, as the new lawyer will have to refile the case.
