What does "Defendants motion for leave to file out of time" mean?

Last week we found out that my husband is being sued for an accident she was in and says my husband caused the accident. Anyways, we had never been served the papers for this case, and they say we had been and since we hadn't responded they filed for a deafult judgement, which is the court date this upcoming week. Well our insurance company got us the attorney and I look at teh docket entries today and there is an entry that says.

    It means that your attorney failed to request an extension within the time limit. Attorney's hired by insurance are never any good cause they get paid no matter what, they don't care to win your case. I'd hire a new one.
