Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer?

A lot of people just want to know do they need a lawyer if they’re injured. The answer is it depends upon how hurt you are. If you only go to the doctor a couple of times or to physical therapy a couple of times, the honest truth is a lawyer cannot do much more for you than you can do for yourself. The more hurt you are the more you need a lawyer and the more a lawyer can do for you.

A second reason why some people need a lawyer is that they just don’t want to hassle with the insurance company. They just don’t have the time to deal with it and we also provide that service. We handle all types of injury cases and we’re available to help you if you need us.

If you are involved in a minor traffic accident, chances are that you will not hire a personal injury attorney to pursue a lawsuit. Usually insurance information is exchanged and that’s the end of that.

However, there are certain circumstances when you want to be sure you consult with a personal injury lawyer, including:

Severe Injury – if you suffer a severe injury in any accident, you want to be sure your medical bills and compensation for any current or potential future complications are covered.

Long-Term Injury – if you suffer long-term or permanent injury or disability, you need a personal injury attorney to ensure you are compensated properly and get the most out of your claim.

Refusal to Pay – sometimes an insurance company will refuse to make a fair settlement offer or to pay for the proper level of care you require. A personal injury lawyer is well acquainted with these tactics, and can advise you on how to proceed to get what is due you.
