WHY DO YOU NEED TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY FOR YOUR CAR CRASH CASE?
Even if the other party admits fault following a car accident, your struggles are not over. You still have to deal with your insurance company, their insurance company, and possible long-term complications from injuries that you may not have noticed when the car crash occurred. Most likely, the insurance companies won’t offer you a fair settlement or pay fully for your loss unless you know how to fight your case and prove your loss. Hiring a personal lawyer will ensure that you get adequate compensation for your pain and suffering, property damage, lost wages, and other losses that you may not have even considered.
Generally vehicle accidents which result in damages less than $500 do not require that you hire an attorney, but there could be outstanding circumstances where it may be a good idea to have a skilled attorney from a trusted law firm on your side.
It is a good idea to consult a lawyer if:
It is not clear who is at fault for the car accident, or liability is being disputed
You are not sure if the damages are less than $500
The insurance claims adjuster requests medical records from before your accident
The insurance company denied your claim and refuses to reconsider even if you think they are wrong
You have incurred medical bills
The other party has served you with a lawsuit
The insurance claims adjuster has made you an offer for settlement, and you believe your claim is worth more, or has offered you a structured settlement
If you are claiming lost wages which are difficult to prove, or
You are not sure if you can prove your own case.
