Do you need an attorney after a car accident?

The long and the short answer is: it depends.  You will not always need an attorney after a car accident but there are cases when you will absolutely need to hire an attorney to make sure you and your family’s rights are protected.  Every auto accident is different and you will have to decide what is in your best interest.  If your car accident was relatively minor, with little damage to the vehicles and no injuries involved, then you probably will be able to handle everything through your insurance company with no need for a lawyer.  On the other hand, if you have been involved in a serious auto wreck with multiple vehicles and major damage that requires anyone to be taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries, then hiring an experience Houston automobile accident attorney is probably in your best interest.  It is the gray area in between these two types of accidents that requires some thought as to whether or not a car accident lawyer is needed.

In order to help sort out the “gray area” of car accidents here are some scenarios to consider when deciding whether or not to hire an auto accident lawyer.

Get a lawyer in your corner when:

  • Other persons such as pedestrians, bicyclists, or other motorists where involved in the accident
  • There is an issue about who is at fault for the accident
  • Someone in the accident sustained serious injuries that require hospitalization
  • Someone has died as the result of the accident
  • The police report is inaccurate or says you were at fault for the accident
  • You need to negotiate with your insurance company for a substation settlement amount
  • There are technical medical and legal issues which are you unfamiliar or confused about
  • Your insurance policy liability limits will not cover the cost of the accident
  • You have no insurance or have not paid the premiums on time
  • Your insurance company hires their own attorney
  • It looks like your case is going to court

Test the waters with a lawyer when:

  • You need advice about the proposed settlement from your insurance company (the monetary value is not an exact science but an attorney can advise you)
  • You are confused about the terms of your insurance policy
  • Negotiating the settlement with your insurance company
  • Paperwork is confusing or there are terms you don’t understand
  • You believe your insurance company doesn’t have your best interests in mind
  • Who is at fault for the accident is in question
  • You are unsure of your rights after an auto wreck
