What do I do if I want to take care of my injury lawsuit right away?

Two years ago, I broke my shoulder at the gym on a faulty treadmill. The attorney I got has only written them two letters and says after two years they will sue. Can I get another attorney to do something about it now? And do you have any recommendations?

In Oregon you have two years from the accident date in which to file suit or settle your claim. There are some rare exceptions, but it sounds like you need to speak to an attorney right away. As for a recommendation, where do you live?

First of all, if you're in Oregon, you must file or settle your case no more than 2 years from the date of your injury. And yes, you can fire your attorney and hire another one. I can't comment specifically on your current attorney, but you certainly have the right to have an attorney who you feel is doing what needs to be done in your case.
