Answer:If you or a family member experiences an injury that you believe was caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s in your best interest to speak to a personal injury attorney. Although it’s not a requirement, an experienced attorney will be able to help you assess your case, gather necessary documentation, handle assets checks, reduce medical bills and much more. It’s especially helpful to have a lawyer to speak with the other driver’s insurance company. The reason for this is that insurance adjusters typically try to convince victims to settle their case for less money than it’s worth by offering a seemingly high price upfront. Without legal representation, you may be missing out on thousands of dollars you’ll have to pay out of pocket for medical expenses, lost wages, etc. in the future.
