If your attorney dropped your case without thoroughly explaining the reasons, you should call another attorney to look into it.  There might be very good reasons why your case cannot continue, but sometimes an attorney drops a case because he discovers that he does not have the expertise or resources necessary to handle the case, and never should have taken it in the first place. So, if you are wondering, “What can I do if my attorney dropped my case,?” here are some answers.

COMMON VALID REASONS FOR AN ATTORNEY TO DROP A CASE

1. The evidence reveals that the accident was not caused by a negligent party.
   • There is a credible witness that says the accident is mostly your fault (ie; you went through the light)
   • There is a video showing that the accident is your fault, etc.
2. In a traffic accident, you did not meet the standard for “serious injury”

WHEN YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CALL ANOTHER ATTORNEY IF YOUR CASE IS DROPPED?

1. Letter or e-mail arrives dropping the case with no explanation – and your attorney does not provide a good one.
2. Medical Malpractice – the Statute of Limitations is short, and the attorney drops your case right before a large investment for experts is necessary.
3. Case Against the City of New York – short deadlines for filing, the attorney may not have enough experience with cases against The City.
