A:There is no law requiring you to hire a lawyer after suffering an injury, however it is usually in your best interests to do so. In a perfect world, the responsible party’s insurance company would pay you for the full value of your losses up to the limits of your policy without any sort of pushback. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Personal injury claims are complex and must be proven with strong evidence. An attorney who understands the legal system can help you level the playing field, avoid costly errors, and maximize your chances of securing the compensation you deserve.
