I Was Injured in an Accident. Do I Really Need a Lawyer or Can I Handle This Myself?
Insurance companies spend a lot of money on advertising to convince us that they are our friend and good neighbor. And it works. A lot of people who are hurt in motor vehicle accidents will first try to work directly with their insurance company without talking with a lawyer. They often do things that damage their case later on.
- They give recorded statements because they believe the insurance company is on their side.
- They admit some degree of fault when there may actually have been other causes of the accident.
- They fail to save evidence from the accident or to take photos at the scene.
It's not until later — when the insurance company offers them far less than their medical costs, when payment isn't made, or when claims are outright denied — that they finally give up and turn to a lawyer.
That's unfortunate. Not only have they suffered months (or years) of frustration, but a lot of opportunities have been missed to prove their case.
