When auto accidents happen, insurance companies are looking to minimize how much they pay you or not pay you at all—and they will succeed if you go to them as an unrepresented claimant.

There are times when you don't need a lawyer. For example, if you get into a minor parking lot fender bender, and it's someone else's fault, no one is injured, and all you're trying to do is get your car fixed, then you don't need a lawyer. In that case, liability is admitted, no one is injured, and no genuine issue of contention.

Other than that, if you're injured in an auto accident, you need a lawyer, and you need one fast.

You need a lawyer after sustaining an auto accident injury because most people don't know what they need to show an insurance company to get paid for something. You may think you have such a reasonable claim, so you don't need an attorney to handle it for you. As they say, it's an open-and-shut case, a no-brainer. No, it's not that easy.

Yes, you may indeed have a good claim, but do you know that to make a claim for injuries after an auto accident, the first thing to do is document the injuries? What about documenting your complaints at the time of the accident? Then there's the need to see a doctor that's willing to treat someone who's injured in an auto accident. And no, your primary care physician can't help you in this case.

Now you see why you need your injury attorney as quickly as you need a doctor after sustaining injuries in an auto accident? The great news is you can hire a top lawyer and pay nothing. Your lawyer only gets paid if you get paid. Until then, they go to war on your behalf free of charge.
