If the person responsible for your injury had an insurance policy limit of $15,000/$30,000 it means that the insurance company does not have to pay any one person more than $15,000 and does not have to pay more than $30,000 in total to everyone injured. If your case is in litigation it means that suit has been filed. This could be because 4 people are making competing claims for the $30,000 or because for whatever reason the insurance company doesn't think all of the claims together are worth $30,000.
You can always change lawyers. The problem is that your current lawyer can assert a lien on your recovery for the value of his or her work so far. This would might make it unattractive for the new lawyer to take the case on since you certainly don't want to pay a double fee.
