With injuries as severe as yours, and long-term medical costs, you can expect an uphill battle. If the insured's policy is limited to $1.3. million, you will not get more than that from them. You can still attempt to obtain additional damages from the at-fault driver, but this will be limited by their ability to pay.
You have an absolute right to change attorneys, but the decision shouldn't be made lightly. If your lawyer has been working on a contingency fee, and has provided substantial work, they will most likely split the fee with the new attorney. Your new attorney may request also additional discovery, which will prolong resolution of your case. Of course, if you are not confident in your attorney, then losing the case would be more costly.
