You can always tell his lawyer what you just us and see if that helps, get another attorney and sue further for the cost of the added surgeries, and/or file a complaint with the State Attorneys Bar Association in you area. The attorney's bar might not get you any cash, but might make you feel a lot better. The attorney would then have to answer for all of his "misgivings".

Contact a lawyer that specializes in Legal Malpractice.

fire your lawyer and get another one
as long as you are keeping records, that's all you can do.
are you guys planning on suing the person that hit him? if his insurance does't cover all the expenses, you have to sue the person for the rest
