Do You Need a Lawyer After a Car Accident?

After a crash, many people wonder: “Do I really need a lawyer, or can I just deal with the insurance company myself?” The truth is, it depends on the situation, but in most cases, having an experienced lawyer on your side can make all the difference.

Insurance Companies Aren’t on Your Side

While adjusters may sound friendly, their job is to save the insurance company money. That often means offering quick, low settlements that don’t cover the full cost of your injuries, lost wages, or future medical care.

When You May Need a Lawyer

• You suffered serious injuries.

• You’ve missed work due to the accident.

• The other driver was uninsured or underinsured.

• Liability is being disputed.

• The insurance company is delaying or denying your claim.

  
  

How a Lawyer Can Help

• Investigate your accident and gather evidence.

• Negotiate aggressively with insurance companies.

• Calculate the true value of your case, including future costs.

• Represent you in court if needed.
