Insurance companies are known for trying to offer less than what is deserved. Oftentimes people settle for much less than they could have gotten if they had contacted an attorney. Before you agree to a settlement you want to have it reviewed by an lawyer who can assess the case to get a better idea if you should be receiving more than what you’re being offered. Don’t allow the insurance companies to rush you into accepting something far less than what you’re owed. Make sure an attorney goes over your case with you before agreeing to settle anything. You’ve got nothing to lose.

You are not required to have an attorney if you want to file a lawsuit against the negligent person or entity responsible for your injuries. However, it is in your best interests to have an experienced and knowledgeable group of attorneys who can help you navigate the complex legal system.
