.Defendant's insurance companies love to film the victim to catch them lying. Your lawyer should have told you this from the beginning. Hopefully what they got on video tape is not too damaging, but again this is something your lawyer should have gotten a hold of.

What is your court date coming up? If it�s a trial you will have trouble finding new counsel if it is something other than that finding new counsel should not be a problem. Best suggestion is to call your local bar association referral service and they can help you find a new lawyer.

Good luck.
