Do I Need a Lawyer for a Car Accident?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

You may not know whether hiring an attorney is really necessary after a car accident. Like many other accident victims, you might think you should work directly with your insurance company as you seek compensation. But before making a decision, it’s helpful to know an important fact: The insurance company is in business to make money.

This means that, even if your neighborhood insurance agent is incredibly friendly or a close family friend, the company he or she works for is in the business of making a profit. Insurance companies everywhere do that by charging premiums and paying out a little as possible.

Why You Might Need a Lawyer

If the car accident injured you and was someone else’s fault, hiring an attorney could benefit you. Doing so will give you a true advocate to help your injury claim be processed fairly and ensure that you get as much compensation as possible.

Without an attorney, there is a chance that you will be taken advantage of. The person who hit you will likely be represented by his or her own lawyer. It will be that lawyer’s job to try and push blame in your direction so you receive less compensation for the accident.

Also, without a car accident attorney, you likely won’t know whether you’re being given a fair settlement offer.

How an Attorney Can Help

A personal injury attorney can do the following for you:

Negotiate on Your Behalf

An attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf. This makes it possible for you to focus on recovering instead of dealing with paperwork and settlement negotiations.

Win You More Compensation

An attorney can ask for damages to compensate you for hardships like pain and suffering, in addition to medical bills. Most non-lawyers are unfamiliar with the best way to go about this and often fail to ask for all the compensation they could receive. In other words, without an attorney, you could be leaving money on the table.

Fight for Your Right to Recover After a Car Accident

Even before reaching the settlement-negotiations phase, the insurance company may deny access to certain types of medical procedures or surgeries. An attorney can fight for your right to reach your maximum level of recovery. This can mean fighting to get procedures paid for.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
