What can I do if they denied liability?

First, if liability is denied in your case your only option if you want to receive money is to sue the wrongdoer, go to trial and have a jury determine that the at-fault is liable. Second, I do not know what time limitation you are referring to. If you are referring to the statute of limitations you need to make a lawsuit is filed before it expires. If the attorney still represents you he or she either has to: (1) notify you that he or she will not file a lawsuit and give you enough time to either find a new attorney or file the lawsuit yourself; or (2) file the lawsuit. If the attorney never withdraws from representing you and fails to fall a lawsuit on your behalf you would have a legal malpractice claim against him or her. If you are referring to a different time limitations I do not necessarily know how to answer although my answer would likely be similar to that of the statute of limitations.

File suit. If your present lawyer will not do it, then get someone else.

The lawyer doesn't think your case is worth filing on apparently. Find another lawyer or file a lawsuit yourself. Go to the courthouse and find a similar lawsuit and use it as a guide. Don't let the time run. Else you will be out of luck.

Hire another attorney.

Fax or email a message to the attorney asking why he is not filing. Might be the claim is too small to take to court. But you need to know. You can always write a letter to the court and pay a filing fee but your current lawyer should just be straight and tell you why the case went cold and is about to die?

Tell your lawyer to take care of it.

Ask the attorney if he/she plans to file suit. If not, start looking for another lawyer fast.

Your lawyer is obligated to protect the statute by filing suit on your behalf.

Go and personally see your attorney and point out you are upon the deadline for statute of limitations. If you can't see him, you must find another attorney willing to take on the case. If the statute of limitations runs you may lose your right to bring a case against the at fault party. This is a serious matter as it takes any attorney time to prepare a compliant and get it filed and name the right parties. Each case is unique and no lawyer client relationship is established by this response, nor should you rely upon an email response to a generic question without consulting with an attorney regarding the precise issues of your case.

Are you talking about your own insurance company? If so, you would want to proceed with a bad faith claim. If you are talking about the other side's insurance, you'd merely want to file a lawsuit against the other side, but you never mentioned the nature of the claim. This is certainly not uncommon. Viable claims are often ignored by the other side's insurer and sent to litigation. That alone does not mean you have no case against them.
