Do I need to contact an attorney after a car accident?

PDF Print E-mail

 If you have been injured in an auto accident, it may be critical for you to talk to an attorney.   It generally depends on what happened in the accident and if injuries were sustained.  If you or your loved ones were not hurt in the accident, you probably do not need to contact attorney.   If you or a family member were seriously injured, especially if there is a permanent injury, or if you have lost time from work or school, you will want to talk to an attorney about possible representation and if a claim should be filed against any party responsible for your injuries.  Even if you are not injured, don't rule out contacting an attorney because each car accident is different.   It is good to analyze the situation and use good judgement.   An accident, such as a fender bender, where no occupants sustained injuries can generally be handled through your insurance provider.   Anything more serious should be carefully analyzed. 

Contacting a law firm that deals with personal injury and has experience handling complex auto accident case, may be critical to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries. 

 Should I RUN... or WALK?  The following is a list of tips of when you should RUN to an attorney and when it might be okay to walk.  

Run to an attorney:

A serious injury has occured or when an injury might be permanent (hospitalization / broken bones)

Other parties were involved

Fault is an issue

A death resulted from the accident

Technical, legal or medical issues are involved

A police report does not accurately describe the accident 

Your insurance provider involves its own attorney 

Walk to an attorney:

If you are seeking advice on whether or not you should involve an attorney to settle your claim  

If you are receiving a fair settlement (It isn't an exact science, but an attorney can provide an estimate of a best and worst case scenario)

You want to know how to handle negotiations with your insurance company

If you are wondering if your insurance company is acting in bad faith

Confused over the legal terms of your insurance policy

You don't know what rights you have
