re: Should I get another lawyer?

Your lawyer wants to get as much as possible out of this to fatten his own wallet. Unless he's just really bad with money and needs to pay off a bookie really quickly or something. If he thinks that's all the money you'll get, then that's what it is.

I was hit by a car and spent the night in the hospital. Had to hire an attourney to deal with the insurance agency after they gave me the run around for several months. The lengths they went to try and squeeze money out of that case were slightly repulsive and I had legit injuries. I can't see a PI attourney lowballing a case.
