Meathook is correct -- once someone gets into an auto accident, the insurer takes over and has the ability to "defend" (i.e. pay for defense) and "indemnify" (i.e. pay any judgment) it. Technically, you're still suing the company -- it's just that the insurance company will be paying the judgment on the company's behalf, unless you bring charges related to punitive damages (i.e. the driver was not only negligent, he was reckless or intentionally threw that piece of truck onto you).
Talk to you lawyer about these legal intracicies. He's used to this whole process, but you have a right to have it explained to you.

I had to go back and reread your question to know what you are talking about. If you want to accuse us of not understanding please be a little clearer, and maybe use spell check.
Your lawyer is fighting/negotiating with the insurance company because that is who will represent and ultimately pay even if you sue the trucking company. If there is a lawsuit filed it will be against the trucking company with the insurer representing them because that is what insurance does. You would be better off asking your lawyer why he pursuing the strategy he is than getting advice from a bunch of strangers who don't know all the facts of your problem. If you aren't happy with the explanation from the lawyer fire them and hire a new one. If you are using one of those accident claims specialists that you see on tv, be aware that they are not always working in your best interest, but rather trying to come to a settlement as quick as possible with a minimal amount of work because that is how they make their money. Hire a lawyer you pay up front if you want someone truly on your side.

well, look at your auto policy...do you have PIP benefits or Med Pay of anything that would cover any medical costs for you? your attorney likely has a copy of your policy and would be able to help you understand if you have any benefits of this type. the big truck's insurance is the one the attorney is currently suing, right? just ask him if he thinks you have a case against your own insurance company...again i would say that you should kill two birds with one stone...it will save lots of time and money (see my answer to your first question)

Sue the insurance company, that is what insurance is for. You should not sue the company for all the reaons stated in my previous answer.
