What to do if my daughter was injured in an auto accident and hired an attorney but they dropped the case and now the orthopedist won’t see her again until she gets another attorney?
If the first attorney couldn’t help, how would another?

It is unclear why an orthopedist would not see your daughter unless she/you have an attorney--your daughter's treatment is separate from any legal claim(s) she may have, and a doctor may not condition treatment on a legal claim. You should seek a different orthopedist, one will not condition treatment on the status of the legal claim.
