It mostly depends on how bad the car accident was and what happened afterward if you should hire a lawyer. For small fender benders with no injuries, little damage to property, and clear fault, dealing with the claim directly with the insurance companies is usually the way to go.
But when a crash causes serious injuries, blame is disputed, medical bills are high, or insurance companies refuse to pay fair settlements, an attorney's knowledge can be helpful. Personal injury lawyers know how much claims are really worth, including not just the cost of medical care right away, but also the cost of future care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Our car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't have to pay anything up front. Also, having a lawyer shows insurance companies that you mean business with your claim and are less likely to accept a low offer.
