Do I Need a Lawyer for a Car Accident Case?

Statistics prove that people who hire a lawyer get higher accident settlements than those who do not. However, getting more money is not the only reason to hire a lawyer.

If you were not injured in the accident, you probably will not need an attorney. However, if you suffered an injury, now is a time when you could benefit from a free consultation with a lawyer.

Insider Knowledge

This may be the first time you have suffered an injury in a car accident. However, it will not be the first time for the claims adjuster. Claims adjusters are experts who deal with personal injury claims every day. Without an attorney on your side, you will be at a disadvantage. You could say or do things that will undermine your claim.

You should not be trusting the insurance adjuster handling your claim, no matter how nice he or she seems. Their goal is to pay you as little as possible. If they can deny your claim, they will. They may even use underhanded methods to do so, including reading what you post on social media. As your lawyer, I can protect you.

Why You Need a Lawyer

When you hire a lawyer, you will have an experienced professional dealing with the claims adjuster and the insurance company. As your attorney, I can also negotiate with your health insurance company so you can keep as much of your accident settlement as possible rather than having to pay it all back to cover your medical expenses. As long as I am handling your personal injury claim, I can handle your vehicle damage claim at no charge.

One of the biggest advantages to hiring a lawyer is that it allows you to focus on what matters most, which is recovering your health and your life.
