More details to this question:
I hired an attorney for my slip n fall Case but they’re now dropping the case due to the lack of evidence of video footage but we have all the proof that the incident happened and I was injured but they’re not trying to increase the amount of money that should be paid to me due to the loss wages due to being injured.

Did the firm you hired file a lawsuit? If they did not, then you should speak with another attorney about possible substitution of counsel. In some cases, Insurance companies don't really take a law firm seriously UNLESS they file a lawsuit. Most lawyers just want to "settle" cases on the phone without doing the hard work of filing suit, doing discovery, hiring expert witnesses and spending time and their "own" expense litigating the case to trial. They just want to "negotiate" with a non lawyer insurance adjuster. Do you see the big difference? Reach out to one of us to discuss. If a law firm withdraws from the case they by law don't have a charging lien on the file, so you have nothing to lose by getting a second opinion. Cases involving injuries that occurred prior to Spring 2023 are subject to the old statute of limitations of 4 years. Cases involving injuries that occurred after Spring 2023 are subject to the new 2 year statute of limitations.
