When is hiring a lawyer necessary?

 

A: In most cases, as soon as someone is in an accident, they wonder how they’re going to hire a lawyer to handle the cumbersome legal steps of an insurance claim, such as a negotiating a personal injury settlement. The truth of the matter is that not every accident or injury requires hiring a lawyerto sort out the details of the aftermath, but those that do generally bear one of the following telltale signs: 

  • fault is contested;
  • damages sought exceed $10,000;
  • you have been forced to take extended time away from work;
  • injuries include permanent disability or disfigurement;
  • the other driver is underinsured or uninsured; or
  • you were injured in a hit-and-run accident. 
This is not an exhaustive list, and if you are ever uncertain about whether or not you need an attorney, you should consider speaking with one. Negotiating a personal injury settlement with insurance adjusters is stressful and often confusing, so in most cases in which an injury has been suffered, it’s preferable to let a dedicated personal injury attorney deal with the frustrations of settlement negotiations.

A serious accident or injury can place exceptional burdens on you and your family. If you’ve been injured in an accident and don’t know how to hire a lawyer or wonder if hiring a lawyer is the best option for you, speak with a personal injury attorney who has handled cases like yours before, from compiling evidence to negotiating a personal injury settlement. Consultations are free, so you can have your questions about the process answered without any fear of obligation.
