You are not legally obligated to hire representation for a personal injury claim. You could try to handle your case on your own, but you would face several significant challenges in doing so. The average person will struggle to meet the procedural demands of the court and may overlook key pieces of evidence that impact their case. They could also unintentionally settle for less compensation than they are rightfully owed. Working with trustworthy legal counsel will dramatically improve the results of your claim.
