I was injured in a car accident. Do I need an car accident lawyer?
We’re sorry to learn that you were injured in a auto accident, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the you need to hire a Los Angeles auto accident lawyer. For example, if you suffered only minor injuries (soft tissue) and it is clear that the other person was at fault, you may be able to handle your claim with the other person’s insurance company yourself. Feel free to give us a call at (555) 555-1212 or submit an Online Inquiry for a free consultation to discuss whether you fall into this category. If you do, we will happily give you some free advice/tips to handling your claim without a lawyer. We never take on cases that we can’t add value to. In other words, if you can’t likely net more by hiring us (we are paid with a percentage of the recovery (contingency fee), see section below), it doesn’t make sense for you to hire a personal injury lawyer. That said, if you suffered more serious injuries or fault isn’t crystal clear, you will need to hire an injury lawyer or else you will likely be costing yourself a lot of money. The California DMV also agrees on this point.
