Do you always need an attorney?

As a personal injury attorney and serious accident lawyer in Austin, Texas, I know there is often confusion regarding these types of cases. Not every case needs an attorney. Many small injury personal inury cases can be settled directly with the insurance company. Often, it makes more sense to settle a small case without the help of an injury accident attorney because the attorney's fees and other costs, including your medical bills, might leave little or no compensation for you when the case is finished. This is especially true of a "fender bender" accident with some minor property damage and perhaps some minor "soft tissue" physical injuries, like a sore neck or sore back that clears up in a few days.

On the other hand, if your personal injury case involves serious injuries or complicated issues of liability (meaning who is at fault) it becomes more important to have an attorney working on your side, or to at least to consult with a personal injury lawyer prior to talking to the opposing party or the insurance company.

Usually, you receive more for your accident claim
when you use an attorney.

Why do you think insurance companies engage in outlandish behavior in order to get to injury victims before they hire an attorney? They are not doing it to help you. They are doing it to help their bottom line.

The Insurance Research Council conducted a study that found that injury victims that use lawyers in personal injury claims receive more money than those who do not use a lawyer, even after the attorney's fees are paid.

Insurance companies do not want you to hire a personal injury lawyer because they know they will usually end up paying more money for your claim. Insurance companies make profits by collecting premiums, not by paying claims. The less they pay you, the more profit they make. Insurance adjusters are not promoted or rewarded for paying out more money than they have to in claims, but by paying out less.

Many people every year do nothing, or accept much less money than they should, regarding their injury claim. Usually this is because these people do not know what to do after they have been injured in an accident, or they are lead to believe that what they receive is all the money they can get. Many times, these personal injury victims feel confused or afraid. Do not let this happen to you. When you have been injured, doing nothing is the worst thing you can do.
