By and large, following a car accident, it’s almost always in your best interest to have a lawyer help you out on an injury claim following a car accident. Insurance companies will often try to contact someone following a car accident and ask how they’re doing, are you missing any work, what kind of treatment are you getting, what are your diagnosed injuries, and oftentimes insurance companies will make an offer to settle directly with a person without a lawyer, and oftentimes that is a bad thing rather than a good thing. What they offer you is almost always not nearly what you deserve following sustaining injuries in a car accident.
It’s almost always worth your while to assess your options and your rights out with a lawyer so you can at the very least make an informed decision, and what your lawyer does when they take on your car accident claim is make sure that all different criteria are considered when you’re approaching a settlement for injuries after a car accident, such as lost income, pain and suffering, loss of ability to earn income, and your costs of future care. One way or the other, even if an insurance company is making you an offer to settle, consult with a car accident lawyer most definitely.
