It seems to me that the most common concern clients have with their attorney is lack of communications. An attorney is obligagted to keep you informed and up-to-date about your case.
That being said, you state that your have personal injury case. With the COVID slow down, everything has been placed on the back burner, especially with person injury cases. It may be months between court hearings. It is very likely that nothing is happening with your case, with the the COVID slow down, and nothing to report to you. You are not the only person frustrated.
Let me suggest you give your attorney a call and ask him what is happening. You will most likely hear what I stated above.
