If I Was In An Accident, Do I Need A Lawyer?

There are all those advertisements by lawyers on television that say you must have a lawyer to protect your rights. Then there is the insurance company that is handling your claim that insists that they are doing everything necessary for you. Who do you believe?

It should never hurt you to consult an attorney. Many law firms, such as ours, will meet with you and even make initial consultations at no cost to you.  It is a good idea to at least consult with a reputable attorney to make sure that you are informed about your legal rights and duties. The law changes every day and a lawyer should be able to inform you. Insurance companies will certainly tell you about changes in the law that benefit them, but they do not have a duty to inform you of your rights.
