The short answer is yes. However, your chances of getting a fair amount without legal representation are smaller. Most likely, if the at-fault party’s liability is straightforward, the insurance company will make a payment. However, the time it will take to receive the money, and the amount may not be satisfactory. If you do not have legal experience, you may make mistakes that could cost you the entire case. Common errors include: Forgetting to collect and preserve all the necessary evidence. Failing to obtain a police report. Ignoring filing deadlines. Failing to find the right expert witnesses. Not keeping all records of medical treatments. Not seeking all damages you are entitled to. One of the most common mistakes truck accident victims regret is making a statement to the at-fault party’s insurance company. Without legal representation, it is easy to say something that decreases the value of your claim. These statements can be used against you in court.
