It is too late. To get the money in your settlement, you would have signed a waiver of liability, releasing the other party for any further responsibility to pay you for your injury. You can not get more from them, and it is unlikely your attorney did anything that would support a claim for legal malpractice.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
