Should I Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer Or Not?

If you’re injured in a car accident due to another driver’s negligence, there is no guarantee your medical bills will be covered by that driver’s car insurance company; or, if you are paid, that you will be justly compensated.

Insurance companies and their legal teams are well versed on how to minimize settlement claims in bodily injury cases, putting you at a decided disadvantage if you attempt to challenge them on your own.

When to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney

You should strongly consider hiring a personal injury lawyer if:

  • You sustained serious injuries with possible long-term repercussions.
  • The other involved driver was uninsured or underinsured.
  • You and the other driver are in dispute over who was at fault.
  • You are feeling pressured by the claims adjuster to agree to a quick settlement. Fast usually takes precedent over fair, often leading to rash decisions compounded by complicated insurance-speak in the settlement agreement.
  • You don’t feel you’re being fully compensated for your current and future medical costs resulting from your car accident injury.
  • You feel your state’s statutes of limitation laws may come into effect before you can challenge the settlement claim on your own.
