Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may be wondering whether to hire a lawyer. Here’s how to know if legal help is right for your situation.

When You Might Not Need One

For small claims with no injuries or minor property damage, you may be able to resolve the issue directly with insurance.

When You Definitely Need a Lawyer

• Severe injuries or long-term medical care
• Unclear or disputed fault
• Uncooperative insurance companies
• Denied or low settlement offers

Benefits of Legal Help

Lawyers handle paperwork, build your case, and fight for fair compensation. Most work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront.

Consulting a lawyer is usually free and can give you peace of mind.
