“I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, but I just don’t know if I need to hire you or not.” We hear this from potential clients on a consistent basis.
How do you know if your case is “worth hiring an attorney?”
If you are wondering if you need an attorney for your car wreck case, they answer is “most likely, yes.” We have an inherent sense of knowing if we are getting in over our heads, and a car wreck claim is no different. It may start out simple enough – calling the insurance company to report claims, getting the police report, going to the doctor. But it can soon become overwhelming and confusing. Medical bills start coming in, your health insurance company is asking about the accident, insurance adjusters want to take your “recorded statement,” and your car repair and rental are not going as smoothly as you thought.
All the while, you are trying to go about your normal life, but you have this nagging car wreck claim to deal with, sooner or later. If this sounds familiar, you probably need to hire a skilled personal injury lawyer to help.
Were you injured or “still don’t feel right” due to an accident?
If you were injured or received medical treatment because of a car accident, things like medical bills and insurance coverage can get complicated quickly. Understanding the types of insurance claims you have and your rights to recovery are also important.
Sometimes an insurance company will offer a quick settlement, typically along the lines of “medical bills” and a certain amount of additional money. Here’s the problem: Are they talking about your full medical bills, your out-of-pocket deductibles/copays, or how much your health insurance paid? Also, what about future medical bills that might pop up? How do you know how much they may cost? If you have any of these concerns, it may be a good idea to contact a personal injury lawyer.
A quick call can help answer your questions.
Believe it or not, in the first 30-seconds of a conversation with a potential client, we can usually tell if we would be of service to them. A quick phone consultation can typically help answer important questions about your case, even if you don’t end up hiring us. “Is this right?” “Is the adjuster being reasonable?” “How long does that normally take?” “Why are they being so difficult?” These are all common questions we can likely answer during a short initial phone call.
We are 100% not pushy.
It is okay if we are not the right law firm for you or if you end up not needing our services. If we can provide assistance with a quick call or consultation to help you navigate your car wreck claim yourself, that would be great! While we may follow up with you to check on your progress, we will NEVER be pushy. Quite simply, we want clients who hire us to be completely comfortable in our representation of them.
