More details to this question:
I had a law suit for an accident where I was rear ended, while I was stopped at a red light. My lawyer was filing in court, and had to file every 60 days. He admits he dropped the ball and forgot to file. Now my case is dead. he told me he was sorry, but I could sue him. He admits his office was negligent. But there is nothing I can do. But to sue him.

You could probably sue him - it is clear from your description that he dropped the ball. The questions are - how badly were you hurt, and do you think it is worth suing your attorney? You should talk with another attorney, at a minimum, to get a feel for your options.
Good luck going forward. -Jay Mills
