You Take Care of Your Health — We'll Take Care of the Insurance Claims
Does it always pay off to hire a lawyer after a car accident? No, not always. Can an individual consumer make the right decision about whether to hire an attorney without talking to one or two lawyers first? No, probably not.
If you are apprehensive about hiring a lawyer after a car accident, you are not alone. However, if you are apprehensive about dealing with your car insurance company without help, you probably have good reason.

When to Consider Hiring a Lawyer After a Car Accident
Some accidents are like short stories — the claims are relatively minor and a personal injury lawyer will probably not add a lot of value. However, other accidents are like long novels with no end in sight. In some of the following situations, you should find out how an attorney could help:
- Your insurance company denies you fair value for the total loss of your vehicle
- You or a loved one suffered serious injuries that result in significant time off work and major medical care
- The insurance company encourages you to accept a bodily injury settlement that seems too low, or offers a settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries and necessary treatment
- You are getting conflicting information or demands for reimbursement from different insurance companies, like your health care insurance company and your car insurance company
Did you know you can accept a property damage settlement without accepting the bodily injury settlement? It is a good idea to wait to settle your bodily injury claim until you fully understand all your medical needs.
