Do I need to hire an attorney to help me with my accident case?
A: You definitely do NOT need an attorney for every small injury case. In fact, you may be better off not hiring a lawyer for a small injury/accident claim. This is because in cases where there is little or no property damage, the injuries are minor, and/or medical bills are less than a few thousand dollars, the attorney fees and costs might leave you little or nothing after paying your medical bills.
Jeffrey Meldon Tip: It has been my experience that in small cases the person by themselves may have just as good a chance at recovering a settlement near or equal to what an attorney could get and without the expense of a lawyer.
Things to consider:
- It is important to know that many people who are injured in an accident think that their injury is only temporary and that they will be fine in a couple of weeks, and, therefore, don’t proceed to seek medical or legal assistance only to regret it down the road.
Jeffrey Meldon Tip: It is always better to be safe than sorry, plus initial attorney consultations are free; so take advantage of them and arm yourself with the information you need to make the right choices.
- Studies have found that insurance companies pay higher settlements to injured people who use an attorney than those individuals who settle on their own, in fact 3 ½ times higher.
