Can I file my pwn lawsuit for 100k against driver and car insurance hire lawyer later time ?

Can I file my pwn lawsuit for 100k against driver and car insurance hire lawyer later time ?

I am in a bad situation and not sure what to do. I spoke with a lawyer over the
phone and he told me I can file now and hire later.

The only problem I have with this is, I have an idea what I need to ask for due
to car accident, but I am worried if I ask too much ?

I dont have time due to SOL and medical treatment to look for lawyers now. I
was going to settle the claim but I didnt and need to file asap.

My question is, can I file a lawsuit now and hopefully hire a layer another time
?

Thanks so much for all your help
