Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Mexico

How long for auto accident settlement? It's been 6 months.

I was involved in an auto accident,in August of 2003, which totaled my car. The other driver was cited for not yeilding the right of way. The car was worth around $4500, medical bills $700, and I missed 5 days of work, also the wrecker is charging $8 dollars a day for storage fee. I have a lawyer, but I can never get a hold of him, he doesn't return my phone calls, on the rare occasion I do get through all he tells me is that he is working on it. The other drivers Insurance company has called me 2-3 times and has sent 2 letters regarding the claim with the adjuster's contact info on it. I sent the 2 letters to the lawyer in November, but I met with the lawyer at the end of January and he still had not contacted them yet. I want to get a different lawyer but I don't know what to do. I never signed a contingent fee, so I don't even know what he charging. I need help. The storage fee for the car is already over a $1000 dollars and I recieved a mechanic's lien on it,don't know if they are going to go through with it.

Thanks for your help
