If you were involved in a minor collision that did not cause any injuries, you might not need the assistance of an attorney to submit a vehicle accident claim. However, we strongly advise speaking with a local personal injury attorney if you sustained serious or catastrophic injuries. If you decide to proceed with a personal injury claim, your lawyer can then act as an advocate on your side to make sure that both the other driver and your insurance company treat your claim fairly. In any other case, you risk having your claim denied. The insurer of the at-fault party may try to compensate you with a settlement that is far too small to cover your losses or your medical costs.
